About Kilogram-force and Dyne

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.

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.
