How to Convert Force Units
To perform a conversion, look up the target unit's conversion factor relative to the base unit (newton). Below are the exact mathematical formulas for the most common force unit pairs:
Newton to Pound-force
lbf = N × 0.224808924 Pound-force to Newton
N = lbf × 4.448222 Kilonewton to Newton
N = kN × 1000 Newton to Kilonewton
kN = N × 0.001 Force Unit Conversion Charts
Here are the standard reference conversion charts displaying values from 1 to 20 for the most popular unit conversions:
