How to Convert Kilogram-Force to Poundals
To convert a measurement in kilogram-force to a measurement in poundals, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 70.931637 poundals/kilogram-force.
Since one kilogram-force is equal to 70.931637 poundals, you can use this simple formula to convert:
poundals = kilogram-force × 70.931637
The force in poundals is equal to the force in kilogram-force multiplied by 70.931637.
For example, here's how to convert 5 kilogram-force to poundals using the formula above.
poundals = (5 kgf × 70.931637) = 354.658184 pdl
How Many Poundals Are in One Kilogram-Force?
There are 70.931637 poundals in one kilogram-force, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kgf = 70.931637 pdl

What Is a Poundal?
The poundal is a unit equal to the force needed to move one pound of mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
The poundal is a US customary and imperial unit of force. It's also used in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units. Poundals can be abbreviated as pdl; for example, 1 poundal can be written as 1 pdl.
Poundals can be expressed using the formula: 1 pdl = 1lb × ft / s2
