Convert kilogram-force meter to erg
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force meter [kgf*m] to erg [erg], or Convert erg to kilogram-force meter.
1 kgf*m = 98066500 erg. To convert kilogram-force meter to erg, multiply the value by 98066500; to go the other way, divide by it (1 erg = 1.01971621298e-08 kgf*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 kgf*m = 98066500 erg
- 1 erg = 1.01971621298e-08 kgf*m
- 10 kgf*m = 980665000 erg

Kilogram-Force Meter
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram-force is applied over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force meter was historically used in engineering and physics to quantify energy, especially in contexts involving gravitational force, before the adoption of SI units. It derives from the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force, and the meter as a unit of distance.
Current Use
The kilogram-force meter is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by SI units such as the joule for energy. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications.
Erg
The erg is a unit of energy in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the amount of work done when a force of one dyne displaces an object by one centimeter.
History/Origin
The erg was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the CGS system of units, primarily used in physics to measure small amounts of energy before the adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the erg is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of specific scientific contexts, with the SI unit joule being the standard for energy measurement. It remains relevant in some fields like astrophysics and theoretical physics.
