About these units
kgf (kilograms-force): Older metric force unit, used for load cells and ratings.
N (newtons): The SI unit of force.
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.
