About This Calculator
This calculator converts between Newtons (N) and Kilogram-force (kgf) using the standard gravitational acceleration 9.80665 m/s². It's ideal for engineering, physics, and unit conversion scenarios.
How It Works
- Choose a conversion direction: N to kgf or kgf to N.
- Enter the numeric value in the selected unit.
- The result is calculated using one of the following formulas:
kgf = N ÷ 9.80665
N = kgf × 9.80665

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Newton (N)?
Newton is the SI unit of force. One Newton is the force required to accelerate 1 kg at 1 m/s².
What is Kilogram-force (kgf)?
It's the force exerted by gravity on a 1 kg mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
Why is 9.80665 used?
It's the standard gravity value defined by the SI system for universal consistency.
