Convert femtonewton to kilopond
Please provide values below to convert femtonewton [fN] to kilopond [kp], or Convert kilopond to femtonewton.
1 fN = 1.0197e-16 kp. To convert femtonewton to kilopond, multiply the value by 1.0197e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kp = 9.8066e+15 fN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fN = 1.0197e-16 kp
- 1 kp = 9.8066e+15 fN
- 10 fN = 1.0197e-15 kp
- 100 fN = 1.0197e-14 kp
How to Convert Femtonewton to Kilopond
1 fN = 1.01971621297793e-16 kp

Femtonewton
A femtonewton (fN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-15 newtons.
History/Origin
The femtonewton is part of the metric system's SI prefixes, introduced to measure extremely small forces, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts involving micro- or nano-scale phenomena.
Current Use
Femtonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, molecular physics, and precision measurements where forces at the femtonewton scale are relevant.
Kilopond
The kilopond (kp) is a unit of force that was historically used to measure weight, defined as the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The kilopond was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the gravitational system of units, primarily used in Europe before the adoption of the SI system. It was based on the standard acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
Current Use
The kilopond is largely obsolete and has been replaced by the newton (N) in the International System of Units. It is rarely used in modern scientific contexts but may still appear in some engineering or historical references.
