Convert Kilonewtons to Dynes
1 kilonewton is 100,000,000 dyn. One kilonewton is exactly 100000000 dynes.
One kilonewton is 100000000 dynes. To convert kilonewtons to dynes, multiply by 100000000; to go the other way, divide by 100000000 or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-8. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. A thousand newtons.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Special Publication 811 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert kilonewtons to dynes?
- 1.Take the measurement in kilonewtons.
- 2.Multiply by 100000000 — that is how many dynes fit in one kilonewton.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 100000000, or multiply by 1.0000 × 10^-8.
Worked example: 25 kilonewtons to dynes
- Formula
- kN × 100000000 = dyn
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 100000000 = 2,500,000,000 dyn
- Answer
- 25 kN = 2,500,000,000 dyn
The factor is exact, so this figure is exact too — only the display is rounded.

What is a kilonewton?
A thousand newtons. Structural loads, anchor ratings and climbing gear are marked here: a 22 kN carabiner holds about 2.2 tonnes.
What is a dyne?
Exactly a hundred-thousandth of a newton, from the older centimetre-gram-second system. Surface tension and older physics texts still use it.
How many dynes are in a kilonewton?
One kilonewton is 100000000 dynes, exactly. Going the other way, one dyne is 1.0000 × 10^-8 kilonewtons. 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.
