To convert a measurement in millinewtons to a measurement in pound-force, multiply the force by the following conversion ratio: 0.000225 pound-force/millinewton.

Since one millinewton is equal to 0.000225 pound-force, you can use this simple formula to convert:

pound-force = millinewtons × 0.000225

The force in pound-force is equal to the force in millinewtons multiplied by 0.000225.

For example, here's how to convert 5,000 millinewtons to pound-force using the formula above.
pound-force = (5,000 mN × 0.000225) = 1.124045 lbf

Millinewtons and pound-force are both units used to measure force. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Millinewton?

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

The millinewton is a multiple of the newton, which is the SI derived unit for force. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. Millinewtons can be abbreviated as mN; for example, 1 millinewton can be written as 1 mN.

What Is Pound-Force?

Pound-force is a unit of force equal to the force needed to move one pound of mass at a rate of 32.174049 feet per second squared.

The pound-force is a US customary and imperial unit of force. Pound-force is sometimes also referred to as a pound of force. Pound-force can be abbreviated as lbf, and are also sometimes abbreviated as lbF. For example, 1 pound-force can be written as 1 lbf or 1 lbF.

Pound-force can be expressed using the formula: 1 lbf = 32.174049 lbfts2
