Convert Kilograms-force to Ounces-force

1 kilogram-force is 35.273962 ozf. One kilogram-force is exactly 35.2739619496 ounces-force.

One kilogram-force is 35.273962 ounces-force. To convert kilograms-force to ounces-force, multiply by 35.273962; to go the other way, divide by 35.273962 or multiply by 0.028349523. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. The weight of one kilogram under standard gravity, exactly 9.80665 newtons by the defined value of that gravity.

What is a kilogram-force?

The weight of one kilogram under standard gravity, exactly 9.80665 newtons by the defined value of that gravity. Older European engineering drawings are full of it.

What is an ounce-force?

A sixteenth of a pound-force. Spring tensions, switch actuation and small-motor specifications are given here.

How many ounces-force are in a kilogram-force?

One kilogram-force is 35.273962 ounces-force. Going the other way, one ounce-force is 0.028349523 kilograms-force. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
