About Kilogram-force and Newtons

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI unit of force defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).

Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at one meter per second squared.

Conversion factor:

• 1 kgf = 9.80665 N
• 1 N ≈ 0.101972 kgf
