About Kilogram-force (kgf)

Equal to the gravitational force on one kilogram (9.80665 N), the kilogram-force was widely used in engineering before the SI system standardized on the newton. It is still encountered in some countries for measuring body weight on scales, spring constants, and cable tension ratings.

About Kilonewton (kN)

One thousand newtons, the kilonewton is used in structural engineering for building loads, bridge design forces, and crane lifting capacities. A mid-size car weighs about 14 kN, and structural engineers specify beam and column loads in kilonewtons to ensure buildings withstand applied forces.
