To convert a measurement in kilogram-force to a measurement in dynes, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 980,665.012 dynes/kilogram-force.

Since one kilogram-force is equal to 980,665.012 dynes, you can use this simple formula to convert:

dynes = kilogram-force × 980,665.012

The force in dynes is equal to the force in kilogram-force multiplied by 980,665.012.

For example, here's how to convert 5 kilogram-force to dynes using the formula above.
dynes = (5 kgf × 980,665.012) = 4,903,325.06 dyn

How Many Dynes Are in One Kilogram-Force?

There are 980,665.012 dynes in one kilogram-force, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 kgf = 980,665.012 dyn

What Is Kilogram-Force?

Kilogram-force is a unit of force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared.

The kilogram-force is a non-SI metric unit for force. Kilogram-force is sometimes also referred to as a kilopond. Kilogram-force can be abbreviated as kgf, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kgF. For example, 1 kilogram-force can be written as 1 kgf or 1 kgF.

Kilogram-force can be expressed using the formula: 1 kgf = 9.80665 kgms2

What Is a Dyne?

The dyne is the force needed to move one gram of mass at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.

The dyne is a centimeter-gram-second (CGS) unit of force. Dynes can be abbreviated as dyn; for example, 1 dyne can be written as 1 dyn.

Dynes can be expressed using the formula: 1 dyn = 1 gcms2
