Newtons to Kilonewtons

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

⇄

1 N = 0.001 kN

1 newton equals0.001 kN
1 kilonewton equals1,000 N
FormulakN = N × 0.001

How to convert newtons to kilonewtons

To convert newtons to kilonewtons, multiply the number of newtons by 0.001.

kN = N × 0.001

Example

Convert 5 newtons to kilonewtons:

5 N × 0.001 = 0.005 kN

About the units

Newton (N)

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

Kilonewton (kN)

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