kgf to kN converter
1 kgf = 0.00980665 kN
And 1 kN = 101.972 kgf. Kilograms-force to kilonewtons.
Formula
kN = kgf × 0.00980665
A reading of 25 kgf is 25 × 0.00980665 = 0.245166 kN.

About these units
kgf (kilograms-force): Older metric force unit, used for load cells and ratings.
kN (kilonewtons): Structural loads, crane and anchor ratings.
Kilogram-force and pound-force are forces, not masses: 1 kgf is the weight of 1 kg at standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). The kip is 1,000 lbf and the usual US structural load unit.
