Kilogram-Force [kgf]


Kilogram-force (kgf) is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity.



  • It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 kilogram under Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.80665 m/s²).



  • Mathematically:



1 kgf=1 kg×9.80665 m/s2=9.80665 N1 \text{ kgf} = 1 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9.80665 \text{ N}

  • Although not an SI unit, kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and industries to express force more intuitively related to mass.



Example: A force of 10 kgf corresponds to approximately 98.07 newtons.



Ton-Force (Metric) [tf]


Ton-force (metric), also called tonne-force or metric ton-force (tf), is a unit of force based on the force exerted by one metric ton (1,000 kilograms) under standard gravity.



  • Defined as the force exerted by a mass of 1 metric ton under Earth's gravity (9.80665 m/s²).



  • Mathematically:



1 tf=1,000 kg×9.80665 m/s2=9,806.65 N1 \text{ tf} = 1,000 \text{ kg} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 9,806.65 \text{ N}

  • Though not an SI unit, it is widely used in engineering and heavy industries to measure large forces.



Example: A force of 5 tf corresponds to approximately 49,033 newtons.
