To convert a measurement in meganewtons to a measurement in kilogram-force, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 101,971.62005 kilogram-force/meganewton.

Since one meganewton is equal to 101,971.62005 kilogram-force, you can use this simple formula to convert:

kilogram-force = meganewtons × 101,971.62005

The force in kilogram-force is equal to the force in meganewtons multiplied by 101,971.62005.

For example, here's how to convert 5 meganewtons to kilogram-force using the formula above.
kilogram-force = (5 MN × 101,971.62005) = 509,858.10025 kgf

What Is a Meganewton?

One meganewton is equal to 1,000,000 newtons, which are equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.

The meganewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Meganewtons can be abbreviated as MN; for example, 1 meganewton can be written as 1 MN.

What Is Kilogram-Force?

Kilogram-force is a unit of force equal to the force needed to move one kilogram of mass at a rate of 9.80665 meters per second squared.

The kilogram-force is a non-SI metric unit for force. Kilogram-force is sometimes also referred to as a kilopond. Kilogram-force can be abbreviated as kgf, and are also sometimes abbreviated as kgF. For example, 1 kilogram-force can be written as 1 kgf or 1 kgF.

Kilogram-force can be expressed using the formula: 1 kgf = 9.80665 kgms2
