What is 6kg force?
“6kg Force” (kgf) is a non-International System of Units (SI) force unit, defined as the standard gravitational acceleration of an object with a mass of 1 kilogram (9.80665 m /S²). Therefore, 6kg force ≈ 6 × 9.80665 ≈58.84 Newton (N).
Common Application scenarios
- spring scale. Mechanical measuring tools such as torque wrench are often calibrated by kgf
- description of kgf commonly used in Bolt pre-tightening force, door hinge load bearing and load bearing test of children’s toys
- some Asian countries’ industrial codes still use kgf as the design reference unit.
Conversion relationship with international units
note: kgf is not a SI unit, and Newton (N) is recommended for modern engineering. Please confirm whether it is “force” instead of “quality” during conversion-for example,” 6kg “Is the quality,” 6kgf “is the force.
6 kgf ≈ 58.84 N
