How it works
- Supports seven units: newton (N), kilonewton (kN), dyne (dyn), kilogram-force (kgf), gram-force (gf), pound-force (lbf), and tonne-force (tf).
- The base unit for conversion is the newton (N). The input value is first normalized to N and then converted to each unit.
- Coefficients use exact definitions: 1 kgf = 9.80665 N, 1 dyn = 1e-5 N, 1 lbf = 4.4482216152605 N, 1 tf = 9806.65 N.
- To use it, enter the value to convert and choose the input unit. The conversion to every supported unit is listed in a table.
- Very large or very small magnitudes are shown in exponential notation. Displayed values are rounded approximations; for exact work, refer to the original definitions.
