Convert femtonewton to ton-force (metric)
Please provide values below to convert femtonewton [fN] to ton-force (metric) [tf], or Convert ton-force (metric) to femtonewton.
1 fN = 1.0197e-19 tf. To convert femtonewton to ton-force (metric), multiply the value by 1.0197e-19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 tf = 9.8066e+18 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-19 tf
- 1 tf = 9.8066e+18 fN
- 10 fN = 1.0197e-18 tf

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.
Ton-Force (Metric)
Ton-force (metric), symbol: tf, is a unit of force equal to the force exerted by one metric ton (1000 kg) under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
History/Origin
The ton-force originated from the need to quantify large forces in engineering and industrial contexts, particularly in the measurement of engine and machinery forces, and has been used in various forms since the early 20th century.
Current Use
Ton-force (metric) is primarily used in engineering, physics, and industrial applications to express large forces, especially in contexts involving heavy machinery, structural analysis, and force calculations within the 'Force' converter category.
