Understanding the Conversion

The kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force equal to the gravitational force exerted on one kilogram of mass at the Earth's surface. The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.

The conversion formula is straightforward:

N = kgf × 9.80665

This conversion factor (9.80665) represents the standard acceleration due to gravity at sea level on Earth.
