Convert gram-force meter to kilowatt-second
Please provide values below to convert gram-force meter [gf*m] to kilowatt-second [kW*s], or Convert kilowatt-second to gram-force meter.
1 gf*m = 9.80665e-06 kW*s. To convert gram-force meter to kilowatt-second, multiply the value by 9.80665e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*s = 101971.621298 gf*m). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 gf*m = 9.80665e-06 kW*s
- 1 kW*s = 101971.621298 gf*m
- 10 gf*m = 9.80665e-05 kW*s
- 100 gf*m = 0.000980665 kW*s
How to Convert Gram-Force Meter to Kilowatt-Second

Gram-Force Meter
A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force meter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
