Newtons to kilograms-force
Type a value in N to get it in kgf instantly.
That's 6.7× as much force as holding a laptop, while lifting a cement bag is 2.5× stronger. That is the push needed to hold up 10.2 kg on Earth.
Convert the other way: kgf to N
What it means
How strong is that?
Reference forces are the weight of each object on Earth, where one kilogram pushes down with 9.81 newtons.
The math
How to convert N to kgf
To convert newtons to kilograms-force, multiply by 0.101972.
Example: 100 N × 0.101972 = 10.1972 kgf.
In the other direction, 1 kgf = 9.80665 N.

About these units
Newtons (N)
The newton is the SI unit of force: one kilogram accelerated by one meter per second squared. It is about the weight of a medium apple.
Kilograms-force (kgf)
A kilogram-force is the pull of Earth gravity on one kilogram: exactly 9.80665 newtons. Older machines and Asian specifications still use it.
