Force Converter
Comprehensive Force Converter
Force is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, describing the push or pull acting upon an object. Whether you’re designing mechanical systems, calculating load-bearing forces, or studying the laws of motion, accurate force conversion is essential. Our Force Converter tool simplifies these calculations by providing a comprehensive resource for converting between a wide range of force units.
What Units Are Covered?
Our converter includes an extensive list of force units, each with a conversion factor relative to the newton (N), the SI base unit of force. Some key units include:
Newton [N]:
The standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).Metric and Derived Units:
Kilonewton [kN] – 1 kN = 1000 N
Gram-force [gf] – 1 gf = 0.00980665 N
Kilogram-force [kgf] – 1 kgf = 9.80665 N
Ton-force (metric) [tf] – 1 tf = 9806.65 N
Larger and Smaller Units:
Units ranging from Exanewton [EN] (1.0E+18 N) to Attonewton [aN] (1.0E-18 N)
Intermediate units such as Petanewton [PT], Teranewton [TN], Giganewton [GN], and Meganewton [MN]
Other Conventional Units:
Dyne – Common in the CGS system (1 dyn = 1.0E-5 N)
Energy-based units like Joule/meter [J/m]
Traditional force units such as Ton-force (short), Ton-force (long), Kip-force, Pound-force [lbf], and Ounce-force [ozf]
Less common units like Poundal, Pond, and Kilopond
How Does the Converter Work?
Our converter uses a two-step process:
Convert to Newtons:
The tool first converts the input value into newtons using the selected “From” unit’s conversion factor.Convert from Newtons:
It then converts the newton value into the desired “To” unit using its conversion factor.
This ensures that conversions across a broad spectrum of force units are both precise and consistent.
