Kilogram-force metres to Newton-metres Converter kgf·m → N·m
1 kilogram-force metre (kgf·m) = 9.80665 newton-metres (N·m). Type a value below, the conversion happens instantly, entirely on your device.
1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m
10 kilogram-force metres = 98.0665 newton-metres
10 × 9.80665 = 98.0665
1 kgf·m equals 9.80665 N·m, so multiplying by 9.80665 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity, only the measuring stick changes.
How to convert kilogram-force metres to newton-metres
newton-metres = kilogram-force metres × 9.80665, multiply the kilogram-force metre value by 9.80665.
Example: 10 kgf·m = 98.0665 N·m.
To convert the other way: kilogram-force metres = newton-metres ÷ 9.80665 — or use the dedicated N·m to kgf·m converter .
Kilogram-force metres to newton-metres multiplies by 9.80665: 10 kgf·m is 98.07 N·m. This converts vintage or JDM torque specs into modern N·m.

About the units
What is a kilogram-force metre?
A kilogram-force metre is the torque of one kilogram-force at one metre, 9.80665 N·m exactly. Older European and Japanese specs use it.
What is a newton-metre?
The SI unit of torque, one newton of force at one metre from the axis. Engine and fastener torque is specified in N·m across most of the world.
