How to convert Kilonewtons to Kilogram Force
Multiply the kilonewtons value by 101.972: 1 kN = 101.972 kgf. Going the other way, 1 kgf = 0.00980665 kN, so divide by 101.972 or use the Kilogram Force to Kilonewtons converter.
About these units
Kilonewtons (kN)
A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons, about 225 pounds-force. Structural loads and climbing gear ratings are given in kN.
Kilogram Force (kgf)
A kilogram-force, or kilopond, is the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity, exactly 9.80665 newtons.
