What are Kilogram-force and Ton-force

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by a one-kilogram mass under the influence of Earth's gravity. Specifically, it is equal to 9.80665 newtons, which is the standard acceleration due to gravity. Kilogram-force is often used in engineering and physics calculations where the gravitational force needs to be considered. Despite its practical applications, it is not an SI unit, and the newton is preferred for scientific work.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force (tf) is a unit of force that measures the force equivalent to one ton in a gravitational field. Specifically, it is equal to 1,000 kilogram-force (kgf) or approximately 9,806.65 newtons. Ton-force is commonly used in engineering disciplines to quantify large forces, such as those involved in structural engineering, construction, and machinery. While not an SI unit, it is widely recognized and utilized in various industrial applications.
