About Dyne and Kilogram-force

Dyne (dyn)

A dyne is the cgs unit of force — the force to accelerate one gram by one centimeter per second squared (1/100,000 of a newton).

Where it's used: Physics teaching labs and small-scale mechanics.

Kilogram-force (kgf)

A kilogram-force is the force exerted by one kilogram under standard gravity, exactly 9.80665 newtons.

Where it's used: Older engineering specs and fastener torque references in Europe and Asia.

Results are computed to up to 9 decimal places. Round to the precision of your measuring instrument — for most force applications, 2–3 significant figures are plenty.

How to Convert Dyne to Kilogram-force

How many kilogram-forces are in one dyne?

One Dyne (dyn) equals 0.000001 Kilogram-force (kgf). To convert dynes to kilogram-forces, multiply the dyne value by 0.000001.

How do I convert Dyne to Kilogram-force?

Multiply your dyne value by 0.000001 to get the result in Kilogram-force: kgf = dyn × 0.000001. For example, 5 dyn = 0.000005 kgf.

What is the formula for converting dyn to kgf?

The conversion formula is kgf = dyn × 0.000001. Use the calculator above for any value, and see the reference table below for common inputs from 0.001 to 1000.
