Convert kilogram force to newtons
Kilogram-force
The kilogram-force (kgf), also known as the kilopond (kp), is a gravitational unit of force defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²), equal to exactly 9.80665 newtons. It was widely used in pre-SI European engineering and remains in informal use in many countries for expressing weights and forces. One kgf is approximately equal to 2.20462 pounds-force. Though not part of the SI system, it is still recognized in technical standards and everyday usage worldwide.
