Convert kilopond meter to gram-force centimeter
Please provide values below to convert kilopond meter [kp*m] to gram-force centimeter [gf*cm], or Convert gram-force centimeter to kilopond meter.
1 kp*m = 100000 gf*cm. To convert kilopond meter to gram-force centimeter, multiply the value by 100000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 gf*cm = 1e-05 kp*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 kp*m = 100000 gf*cm
- 1 gf*cm = 1e-05 kp*m
- 10 kp*m = 1000000 gf*cm
- 100 kp*m = 10000000 gf*cm
How to Convert Kilopond Meter to Gram-Force Centimeter
1 kp*m = 100000 gf*cm
Example: convert 15 kp*m to gf*cm:
15 kp*m = 15 × 100000 gf*cm = 1500000 gf*cm

Kilopond Meter
A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilopond applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilopond meter was used in the past within the metric system to quantify torque, especially in mechanical and engineering contexts, before the adoption of the new SI units. It is based on the kilopond, a gravitational unit of force equivalent to the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity.
Current Use
The kilopond meter is largely obsolete and rarely used today. Torque is now typically measured in newton meters (N·m) within the SI system, which is the standard in scientific and engineering applications.
Gram-Force Centimeter
Gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force centimeter 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 centimeter is rarely used, having been largely replaced by SI units such as the newton meter (N·m) for torque measurements, but it may still appear in specialized or legacy applications.
