To convert a measurement in kilonewtons to a measurement in gram-force, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 101,971.62005 gram-force/kilonewton.

Since one kilonewton is equal to 101,971.62005 gram-force, you can use this simple formula to convert:

gram-force = kilonewtons × 101,971.62005

The force in gram-force is equal to the force in kilonewtons multiplied by 101,971.62005.

For example, here's how to convert 5 kilonewtons to gram-force using the formula above.
gram-force = (5 kN × 101,971.62005) = 509,858.10025 gf

What Is a Kilonewton?

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

The kilonewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilonewtons can be abbreviated as kN; for example, 1 kilonewton can be written as 1 kN.

What Is Gram-Force?

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

The gram-force is a non-SI metric unit for force. Gram-force is sometimes also referred to as a pond. Gram-force can be abbreviated as gf, and are also sometimes abbreviated as gF. For example, 1 gram-force can be written as 1 gf or 1 gF.

Gram-force can be expressed using the formula: 1 gf = 9.80665 gms2
