How to Convert Kilonewtons to Pound-Force
To convert a measurement in kilonewtons to a measurement in pound-force, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 224.80894 pound-force/kilonewton.
Since one kilonewton is equal to 224.80894 pound-force, you can use this simple formula to convert:
pound-force = kilonewtons × 224.80894
The force in pound-force is equal to the force in kilonewtons multiplied by 224.80894.
For example, here's how to convert 5 kilonewtons to pound-force using the formula above.
pound-force = (5 kN × 224.80894) = 1,124.044699 lbf
How Many Pound-Force Are in a Kilonewton?
There are 224.80894 pound-force in a kilonewton, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kN = 224.80894 lbf

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 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
