Convert kilogram-force square second/meter to quintal (metric)
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force square second/meter [kgf·s²/m] to quintal (metric) [cwt], or Convert quintal (metric) to kilogram-force square second/meter.
1 kgf·s²/m = 0.0980665 cwt. To convert kilogram-force square second/meter to quintal (metric), multiply the value by 0.0980665; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cwt = 10.1971621298 kgf·s²/m). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kgf·s²/m = 0.0980665 cwt
- 1 cwt = 10.1971621298 kgf·s²/m
- 10 kgf·s²/m = 0.980665 cwt

Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.
History/Origin
The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
Quintal (Metric)
A quintal (metric) is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms.
History/Origin
The metric quintal originated in France in the 19th century as a standard unit of mass for trade and agriculture, replacing older local units. It is part of the metric system established during the French Revolution.
Current Use
The metric quintal is used primarily in agriculture and trade in some countries to measure large quantities of produce, though its use is less common today with the widespread adoption of the kilogram as the standard unit of mass.
