Convert kilopond meter to kilogram-force centimeter
Please provide values below to convert kilopond meter [kp*m] to kilogram-force centimeter [kgf*cm], or Convert kilogram-force centimeter to kilopond meter.
1 kp*m = 100 kgf*cm. To convert kilopond meter to kilogram-force centimeter, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf*cm = 0.01 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 = 100 kgf*cm
- 1 kgf*cm = 0.01 kp*m
- 10 kp*m = 1000 kgf*cm
- 100 kp*m = 10000 kgf*cm
How to Convert Kilopond Meter to Kilogram-Force Centimeter
1 kp*m = 100 kgf*cm
Example: convert 15 kp*m to kgf*cm:
15 kp*m = 15 × 100 kgf*cm = 1500 kgf*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.
Kilogram-Force Centimeter
Kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force centimeter originated from the use of the kilogram-force as a unit of force in the metric system, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length, primarily used in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, kgf·cm is largely considered a non-SI unit and is used in certain engineering fields, such as torque measurement in automotive and mechanical applications, but is being gradually replaced by SI units like Newton-meter (Nm).
