How to Convert Kilogram-force to Ounce-force
- 1 kgf = 35.27396195 ozf
- 1 ozf = 0.02834952313 kgf
- Example: convert 15 kgf to ozf: 15 kgf = 15 × 35.27396195 ozf = 529.1094292 ozf
Formula
ozf = kgf × 35.27396194958
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kgf = 1 kg × 9.80665 m/s² = 9.80665 N (exact)
- 1 ozf = 1/16 lbf = 0.27801385095378 N
- 1 kgf = 9.80665 N ÷ 0.2780138509538 N per ozf = 35.27396194958 ozf
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram-force definition: kilogram-force; Ounce-force definition: ounce-force.
Worked examples
- A reading of 5 kgf converts to 176.3698097 ozf.
5 kgf × 35.27396195 = 176.3698097 ozf - A value of 50 kgf is 1763.698097 ozf.
50 kgf × 35.27396195 = 1763.698097 ozf
