About These Units
Kilonewton (kN)
A kilonewton (kN) equals 1,000 newtons or approximately 225 pounds-force. Kilonewtons measure structural loads, bridge capacities, crane ratings, and vehicle towing forces. A car weighs about 15-20 kN. Building columns support hundreds of kN.
Gram-force (gf)
A gram-force (gf or pond) equals 0.00981 newtons—the force exerted by 1 gram under standard gravity. Gram-force measures delicate forces: fishing line strength, keyboard key force (45-60 gf typically), and small spring tensions.
