How to convert kilogram-forces to newtons
To convert kilogram-forces (kgf) to newtons (N), multiply the value in kilogram-forces by 9.80665.
N = kgf × 9.80665
Example: 10 kgf = 98.0665 N.
You can also type 10 kgf to N into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 kgf + 1 N.

About the units
Kilogram-force (kgf)
The force of gravity on one kilogram at standard gravity: exactly 9.80665 newtons.
Newton (N)
The SI unit of force: 1 kg·m/s².
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.
