How to convert kilogram-forces to kilonewtons
To convert kilogram-forces (kgf) to kilonewtons (kN), multiply the value in kilogram-forces by 0.00980665.
kN = kgf × 0.00980665
Example: 10 kgf = 0.0980665 kN.
You can also type 10 kgf to kN into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 kgf + 1 kN.

About the units
Kilogram-force (kgf)
The force of gravity on one kilogram at standard gravity: exactly 9.80665 newtons.
Kilonewton (kN)
A unit of force.
Force changes the motion of a mass. The SI unit is the newton: the force that accelerates one kilogram by one meter per second squared.
