1 nN = 10^-9 N
1 µN = 10^-6 N
1 mN = 0.001 N
1 N = 1 kg·m/s²
1 kN = 1000 N

Technical gravitational force
- Gram-force (gf)
- 101,971.621
- Hectogram-force (hgf)
- 1,019.71621
- Kilogram-force (kgf)
- 101.971621
- Metric ton-force (tf)
- 0.101971621
Weight force of 1 g under g₀ = 9.80665 m/s²
1 hgf = 100 gf = 0.980665 N
Weight force of 1 kg under g₀; kgf and kilopond are identical
1 tf = 1000 kgf = 9806.65 N
Imperial and US customary

1 ozf = 1/16 lbf
Weight force of one international pound under g₀
1 kip = 1000 lbf
1 klbf = 1000 lbf; numerically equal to 1 kip
1 short ton-force = 2000 lbf
1 long ton-force = 2240 lbf
CGS and absolute FPS units
- Dyne (dyn)
