Convert newtons to pounds-force or kilogram-force when a spec sheet and a shop drawing disagree.
| Result | – |
Use this for loads, spring ratings, and bolt notes that mix N, lbf, and kgf. Type the force, pick the unit it is written in, then pick the unit you want.
Everything is converted through the newton. lbf is avoirdupois pound-force. This is force, not mass (a kilogram on a scale is not the same as kgf in every context) and not pressure.
Value: The force number you have.
From: The unit that number is written in (N, lbf, kgf…).
To: The unit you want back.
Result: The same force in the To unit.
