Discover the ease of converting gram-force meters to kilotons with our intuitive tool, designed to simplify your calculations and spark curiosity.
A gram-force is a unit of force in the gravitational metric system. It is equivalent to the force exerted by one gram of mass under standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). Essentially, it is the weight of a one-gram mass. As a unit of force, it is utilized in some specific scientific and engineering contexts where the use of kilograms or newtons might not be as intuitive.
Definition of KilotonA kiloton is a unit of energy equivalent to the energy released by detonating a thousand tons of TNT. It is commonly used to describe the energy output in explosions, particularly nuclear explosions. One kiloton is equal to 4.184 terajoules. In terms of mass, a kiloton can also informally refer to a quantity of a material, such as explosives, equal to one thousand metric tons.
| Gram-force Meter (gf·m) | Kiloton (kt) |
|---|---|
| 10,000 gf·m | 1.1625e-9 kt |
| 50,000 gf·m | 5.8125e-9 kt |
| 100,000 gf·m | 1.1625e-8 kt |
| 500,000 gf·m | 5.8125e-8 kt |
| 1,000,000 gf·m | 1.1625e-7 kt |
| 5,000,000 gf·m | 5.8125e-7 kt |
| 10,000,000 gf·m | 1.1625e-6 kt |
| 50,000,000 gf·m | 5.8125e-6 kt |
| 100,000,000 gf·m | 1.1625e-5 kt |
| 500,000,000 gf·m | 5.8125e-5 kt |
1 gf·m = 1.1625e-12 kt
1 kt = 8.6042065e+11 gf·m
Example 1:
Convert 100,000 gf·m to kt:
100,000 gf·m = 100,000 x 1.1625e-12 kt = 1.1625e-8 kt
Example 2:
Convert 500,000 gf·m to kt:
500,000 gf·m = 500,000 x 1.1625e-12 kt = 5.8125e-8 kt

Unveiling the practicality of the Gram-force Meter to Kiloton Converter in real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
To convert 200,000 gf·m to kt:
200,000 gf·m = 200,000 x 1.1625e-12 kt = 2.325e-7 kt
Example 2:
To convert 2,500,000 gf·m to kt:
2,500,000 gf·m = 2,500,000 x 1.1625e-12 kt = 2.90625e-6 kt
Q1. What is a gram-force meter?
A1. A gram-force meter is a unit of torque that corresponds to the torque resulting from a one gram-force applied perpendicularly to the end of a lever one meter long.
Q2. How is a kiloton related to TNT?
A2. A kiloton is traditionally used to describe the energy released by detonating one thousand tons of TNT.
Q3. Can I convert kilotons back to gram-force meters using this converter?
A3. Yes, our converter is designed to handle both conversion directions.
