About These Units
Kilogram-force (kgf)
A kilogram-force (kgf or kilopond) equals 9.80665 newtons—the force exerted by 1 kg mass under standard gravity. Commonly used in everyday contexts: "this weighs 5 kgf." Still used in some countries for spring scales and pressure (kgf/cm²).
Dyne (dyn)
A dyne is the CGS unit of force equal to 10⁻⁵ newtons—the force needed to accelerate 1 gram by 1 cm/s². Dynes appear in older scientific literature and surface tension measurements. One newton equals 100,000 dynes.
