Convert kilopond meter to kilowatt-second
Please provide values below to convert kilopond meter [kp*m] to kilowatt-second [kW*s], or Convert kilowatt-second to kilopond meter.
1 kp*m = 0.00980665 kW*s. To convert kilopond meter to kilowatt-second, multiply the value by 0.00980665; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*s = 101.971621298 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 = 0.00980665 kW*s
- 1 kW*s = 101.971621298 kp*m
- 10 kp*m = 0.0980665 kW*s

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.
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.
