How to Convert Poundals to Millinewtons
To convert a measurement in poundals to a measurement in millinewtons, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 138.254953 millinewtons/poundal.
Since one poundal is equal to 138.254953 millinewtons, you can use this simple formula to convert:
millinewtons = poundals × 138.254953
The force in millinewtons is equal to the force in poundals multiplied by 138.254953.
For example, here's how to convert 5 poundals to millinewtons using the formula above.
millinewtons = (5 pdl × 138.254953) = 691.274765 mN
How Many Millinewtons Are in a Poundal?
There are 138.254953 millinewtons in a poundal, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 pdl = 138.254953 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

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.
