The
kilogram-force (kgf or kg F), or kilopond (kp, from Latin pondus meaning weight), is a gravitational metric unit of
force .
Kaynak: Kilogram-forceA
kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm 2), often just kilogram per square centimeter (kg/cm 2), or kilopond per square centimeter
Kaynak: Kilogram-force per square centimetreOn Earth's surface, a mass of 1 kg exerts a
force of approximately 9.81 N down (or 1.0
kilogram-force ; 1 kgf 9.80665 N by definition).
Kaynak: Newton (unit)The pound-
force has a metric counterpart, less commonly used than the newton: the
kilogram-force (kgf) (sometimes kilopond), is the

kilogram-force is seldom used.
Kaynak: KilogramBut using the names kilogram, gram,
kilogram-force, or gram-
force (or their symbols) as units of
force is expressly forbidden in SI.

Kaynak: International System of UnitsThe older
kilogram-force per square centimetre corresponds to 98.0665 kPa but is it often rounded off to 100 kPa in practice.

force” to the unit of mass, thus gram-
force (g f) or
kilogram-force (kg f), which follows the tradition of pound-
force (lb f).
Kaynak: Gravitational metric systemNote that the symbol kp usually stands for a different unit of
force, the kilopond or
kilogram-force . The kip is also the name of obsolete
Kaynak: Kip (unit)The decanewton is also encountered occasionally, probably because it is an SI approximation of the
kilogram-force . Its use is more common
Kaynak: Deca-is defined as the power required to raise a hundred-kilogram mass (quintal ) at a velocity of one metre per second (100
kilogram-force ·m/s).
Kaynak: Ponceletkg·m, sometimes run together as kgm (

kilogram-force so kgf·m) is a unit of torque kgm is sometimes an abbreviation
Kaynak: KGMof measure is not a true kilogram; it is the
kilogram-force (kgf or kg-f), also known as the kilopond (kp), which is a non-SI unit of
force.
Kaynak: Mass versus weightThis value was the conventional reference for calculating the
kilogram-force , a unit of
force whose use has been deprecated since the

kilogram-force is a non-SI unit of
force, defined as the

kilogram-force (kilopond) as a base unit of
