To convert a measurement in kilogram-force to a measurement in nanonewtons, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 9,806,650,120 nanonewtons/kilogram-force.

Since one kilogram-force is equal to 9,806,650,120 nanonewtons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

nanonewtons = kilogram-force × 9,806,650,120

The force in nanonewtons is equal to the force in kilogram-force multiplied by 9,806,650,120.

For example, here's how to convert 5 kilogram-force to nanonewtons using the formula above.
nanonewtons = (5 kgf × 9,806,650,120) = 49,033,250,600 nN

How Many Nanonewtons Are in One Kilogram-Force?

There are 9,806,650,120 nanonewtons in one kilogram-force, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 kgf = 9,806,650,120 nN

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 Nanonewton?

One nanonewton is equal to 1/1,000,000,000 of a newton, which is equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.

The nanonewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "nano" is the prefix for billionths, or 10-9. Nanonewtons can be abbreviated as nN; for example, 1 nanonewton can be written as 1 nN.
