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 gravity on a one-kilogram mass. It is a non-SI unit still used in some fields, particularly in engineering contexts where mechanical advantage and force measurements are required. One kilogram-force is approximately equal to 9.80665 Newtons, based on the standard acceleration due to Earth's gravity. This unit finds its application in scenarios where traditional metric units like the Newton might not convey practical understanding, such as in automotive or mechanical industries.

Definition of Ton-force

Ton-force, also known as metric ton-force or tonne-force (tf), is a unit of force employed to describe the force exerted by gravity on a mass equivalent to one metric ton (1,000 kilograms). It is widely used in industries dealing with substantial forces, such as construction and heavy machinery. One ton-force is equivalent to approximately 9,806.65 Newtons. This unit offers an intuitive understanding of large force magnitudes, making it relevant in practical applications where standard units like the Newton might not adequately represent the scale of forces involved.

Conversion of Kilogram-force to Ton-force

1 kgf·m = 0.001 tf·m
1 tf·m = 1000 kgf·m

Example 1:
convert 50 kgf·m to tf·m:
50 kgf·m = 50 × 0.001 tf·m = 0.05 tf·m

Example 2:
convert 200 kgf·m to tf·m:
200 kgf·m = 200 × 0.001 tf·m = 0.2 tf·m
