Convert Newtons to Ounces-force
1 newton is 3.596943 ozf. One newton is exactly 3.5969430896 ounces-force.
One newton is 3.5969431 ounces-force. To convert newtons to ounces-force, multiply by 3.5969431; to go the other way, divide by 3.5969431 or multiply by 0.27801385. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. The SI unit: the force that accelerates one kilogram by one metre per second every second.

What is a newton?
The SI unit: the force that accelerates one kilogram by one metre per second every second. Holding a small apple against gravity takes about one newton.
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 newton?
One newton is 3.5969431 ounces-force. Going the other way, one ounce-force is 0.27801385 newtons. 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.
