How to Convert Newtons to Pound-Force
To convert a measurement in newtons to a measurement in pound-force, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 0.224809 pound-force/newton.
Since one newton is equal to 0.224809 pound-force, you can use this simple formula to convert:
pound-force = newtons × 0.224809
The force in pound-force is equal to the force in newtons multiplied by 0.224809.
How Many Pound-Force Are in a Newton?
There are 0.224809 pound-force in a newton, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 N = 0.224809 lbf
Newtons and pound-force are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Newton?
The newton is a unit to for measuring force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.[1]
The newton is the SI derived unit for force in the metric system. Newtons can be abbreviated as N; for example, 1 newton can be written as 1 N.
Newtons can be expressed using the formula: 1 N = 1 kgm / s2

What Is Pound-Force?
Pound-force is a unit of force equal to the force needed to move one pound of mass at a rate of 32.174049 feet per second squared.
The pound-force is a US customary and imperial unit of force. Pound-force is sometimes also referred to as a pound of force. Pound-force can be abbreviated as lbf, and are also sometimes abbreviated as lbF. For example, 1 pound-force can be written as 1 lbf or 1 lbF.
Pound-force can be expressed using the formula: 1 lbf = 32.174049 lbft / s2
