Welcome to the ultimate tool for precise conversion between dyne cm and kgf cm, meticulously crafted by Newtum. This intuitive converter simplifies the transition from Dyne Centimeter to Kilogram-force Centimeter, piquing your curiosity to explore more.

What are Dyne and Kilogram-force

Definition of Dyne

A dyne is a unit of force specified in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It's defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. This unit, though not commonly used today, was vital in the historical development of physics.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force is a unit of force that is not a part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard gravity at the Earth's surface, which is approximately equal to 9.80665 newtons.

40000 dyn cm 0.408 kgf cm
50000 dyn cm 0.51 kgf cm
100000 dyn cm 1.02 kgf cm

Conversion of Dyne to Kilogram-force

1 dyn cm = 1.02e-5 kgf cm
1 kgf cm = 98066.5 dyn cm

Example 1:
Convert 500 dyn cm to kgf cm:
500 dyn cm = 500 × 1.02e-5 kgf cm = 0.0051 kgf cm

Example 2:
Convert 2500 dyn cm to kgf cm:
2500 dyn cm = 2500 × 1.02e-5 kgf cm = 0.0255 kgf cm

History of Dyne and Kilogram-force

The Dyne Centimeter to Kilogram-force Centimeter Converter has its roots in the transition from the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system to the MKS (meter-kilogram-second) system. This tool represents the evolution of measurement systems to provide easy conversions between these two units of torque.
