How to Convert Millinewtons to Poundals
To convert a measurement in millinewtons to a measurement in poundals, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 0.007233 poundals/millinewton.
Since one millinewton is equal to 0.007233 poundals, you can use this simple formula to convert:
poundals = millinewtons × 0.007233
The force in poundals is equal to the force in millinewtons multiplied by 0.007233.
For example, here's how to convert 500 millinewtons to poundals using the formula above.
poundals = (500 mN × 0.007233) = 3.616507 pdl
Millinewtons and poundals are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Millinewton?
One millinewton is equal to 1/1,000 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 millinewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. Millinewtons can be abbreviated as mN; for example, 1 millinewton can be written as 1 mN.

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
