Perform quick & accurate conversions and calculations
A force converter refers to the process of converting a measurement of force from one unit of measurement to another. Force is a fundamental physical quantity that can be expressed in various units, depending on the measurement system used (e.g., the metric system or the imperial system). The most common unit of force is the newton (N) in the International System of Units (SI), but other units like pounds-force (lbf), kilograms-force (kgf), or dyne may also be used in different contexts.
Units of force include nanonewtons, micronewtons, millinewtons, newtons, kilonewtons, meganewtons, gram-force, kilogram-force, pound-force, ounce-force, dynes, and poundals.
