- The converted values appear instantly in the other unit fields.
FAQ
What's the difference between kgf and N?
kgf (kilogram-force) is based on the gravitational force on a 1 kg mass โ 1 kgf is about 9.80665 N.
Can I use this to convert tool tightening torque?
This tool converts force units (N, kgf, etc.), not torque units (like Nยทm, a rotational force), so please use a dedicated torque conversion for tightening specs.
Is this useful for checking imported equipment specs?
Yes โ it's handy for converting an lbf rating on imported equipment to N for comparison with domestic specs.
