Kilonewtons to Newtons

Convert kilonewtons (kN) to newtons (N). Type in either box; the other updates as you go.

⇄

1 kN = 1,000 N

1 kilonewton equals1,000 N
1 newton equals0.001 kN
FormulaN = kN × 1,000

How to convert kilonewtons to newtons

To convert kilonewtons to newtons, multiply the number of kilonewtons by 1,000.

N = kN × 1,000

Example

Convert 5 kilonewtons to newtons:

5 kN × 1,000 = 5,000 N

About the units

Kilonewton (kN)

A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons. Climbing gear and structural loads are rated in kN.

Newton (N)

The newton is the SI unit of force, the force that accelerates one kilogram at one meter per second squared.
