Force & Weight Converter
Convert between Newton, kilonewton, kilogram-force, pound-force, kilopond and other force units.
Units:
Force and weight are often confused. Weight is a force (F = m × g). 1 kg of mass exerts 9.81 N of weight force on Earth. In imperial systems, pound-force (lbf) is used — not to be confused with pound-mass (lbm).
1 kgf = 9.80665 N | 1 lbf = 4.44822 N | 1 kN = 1000 N
