How to use the Force Converter

  1. Type the force you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit you have and the unit you want.
  3. Read the result and the reference table of common values.

What does this tool do?

The newton is the SI unit of force. Pounds-force and kilograms-force are the weight of one pound or one kilogram under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²), so 1 kgf = 9.80665 N and 1 lbf ≈ 4.448 N.

Kips (1,000 lbf) are common in structural engineering, and dynes in older physics texts.

Why use it?

  • Engineering and SI units.
  • Standard-gravity definitions.
  • Reference table.
