About this conversion

To convert Kilogram-force to Newton, multiply the number of Kilogram-force by 9.80665.

Force is the newton in SI, but pounds-force, kilograms-force and dynes still fill engineering specs, so comparing a spring, a bolt rating or a thrust figure usually means converting first.
