  4. 4 Open “In every unit” to see the value in all 7 units of force.

About this tool

Force is measured in newtons in the SI. Older and technical sources use kilogram-force and tonne-force, the US uses pound-force.

Here every value is converted through the newton (N). Choose any two of the 7 units below the converter, or start from one of the popular conversions.

Frequently asked questions

Which units of force can I convert?

Newton (N), Kilonewton (kN), Dyne (dyn), Kilogram-force (kgf), Tonne-force (tf), Pound-force (lbf) and Poundal (pdl).

Which force conversions are used most?

1 N = 0.1019716213 kgf; 1 lbf = 4.448221615 N; 1 kN = 0.1019716213 tf; 1 kN = 101.9716213 kgf; 1 kN = 224.8089431 lbf.

How exact is the converter?

Each unit is defined by its official value in N, so conversions are exact up to the 10 significant digits shown; you can round to 0–6 decimals.
