Understanding the Conversion

KilogramForce (kgf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by gravity on a one-kilogram mass. Newtons (N) are the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

The conversion between these units is based on the standard gravitational acceleration, which is approximately 9.80665 m/s². This means that 1 kgf is equivalent to 9.80665 Newtons.

When to Use This Calculator

This calculator is useful in various fields such as physics, engineering, and everyday applications where force measurements need to be converted between different units. It helps in understanding the relationship between mass and force under standard gravity conditions.
