One kilogram-force equals approximately 9.80665 newtons, based on standard gravity.
Multiply the number of kilogram-force by 9.80665. For example, 7.5 kgf × 9.80665 = 73.5499 N.
Kilogram-force (kgf) is a gravitational metric unit of force equal to the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). It is also called kilopond (kp).
While the SI system prefers newtons, kilogram-force is still used in some engineering contexts, jet engine thrust ratings, and in countries that historically used the metric technical system.
