Tons-force to kilonewtons
Type a value in tonf to get it in kN instantly.
889.6kN
That's 2.2× as much force as a jet engine, while a Saturn V at liftoff is 39× stronger. That is the push needed to hold up 90,720 kg on Earth.
What it means
How strong is that?
Reference forces are the weight of each object on Earth, where one kilogram pushes down with 9.81 newtons.
The math
How to convert tonf to kN
To convert tons-force to kilonewtons, multiply by 8.89644.
Example: 100 tonf × 8.89644 = 889.644 kN.
In the other direction, 1 kN = 0.112404 tonf.

The units
About these units
Tons-force (tonf)
A ton-force is the weight of one short ton, about 8.9 kilonewtons. Presses and jacks are often rated this way.
Kilonewtons (kN)
A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons, roughly the weight of 100 kg. Structural loads and climbing gear are rated in kilonewtons.
