Convert kilopond to dyne
Please provide values below to convert kilopond [kp] to dyne [dyn], or Convert dyne to kilopond.
1 kp = 980665 dyn. To convert kilopond to dyne, multiply the value by 980665; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dyn = 1.01971621298e-06 kp). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference

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The kilopond is largely obsolete and has been replaced by the newton (N) in the International System of Units. It is rarely used in modern scientific contexts but may still appear in some engineering or historical references.
Dyne
A dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared.
History/Origin
The dyne was introduced as part of the CGS system of units in the late 19th century, serving as a smaller force unit compared to the Newton, to facilitate calculations in physics and engineering involving small forces.
Current Use
The dyne is primarily used in theoretical physics and certain specialized scientific fields; however, it has largely been replaced by the Newton in most practical applications and international standards.
