About Converting Quettanewton meters to Kilogram-force meters

Quettanewton meter and Kilogram-force meter both measure torque, and the conversion is essential for anyone using a torque wrench specified in one unit against a bolt or engine spec given in the other. Specifically: Quettanewton meter is 1e+30 newton meter units, and torque from one kilogram-force at one meter.

Formula

kilogram-force meters = quettanewton meters × 1.019716e+29

This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 quettanewton meter equals 1e+30 base units, and 1 kilogram-force meter equals 9.80665 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct quettanewton meter-to-kilogram-force meter factor of 1.019716e+29.

Simple example

1 QN m × 1.019716e+29 = 1.019716e+29 kgf m

1 quettanewton meter = 1.019716e+29 kilogram-force meters.

Real-world example

10 QN m × 1.019716e+29 = 1.019716e+30 kgf m

10 quettanewton meters = 1.019716e+30 kilogram-force meters.

Conversion table

10 QN m1.019716e+30 kgf m
50 QN m5.098581e+30 kgf m
100 QN m1.019716e+31 kgf m
500 QN m5.098581e+31 kgf m

Reverse conversion: Kilogram-force meter to Quettanewton meter

1.019716e+29 kgf m × 9.80665e-30 = 0.9999997911 QN m

1.019716e+29 kilogram-force meters = 0.9999997911 quettanewton meters.

quettanewton meters = kilogram-force meters × 9.80665e-30

Understanding the Quettanewton meter (QN m)

Quettanewton meter is 1e+30 newton meter units.

Understanding the Kilogram-force meter

Kilogram-force meter (kgf m) measures torque. The torque produced by one kilogram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter. It is classified as a non-SI unit, deprecated but still encountered.

Where it's used: Can be encountered in some older European and Japanese automotive and mechanical torque specifications

kgf·m vs. N·m. The newton-meter is the modern SI torque unit; kilogram-force meter is the older, gravity-dependent equivalent still occasionally seen on legacy specifications. 1 kgf·m equals exactly 9.80665 N·m.

Uses of the Kilogram-force meter today

  • Appears on some legacy torque specifications and equipment predating wider adoption of the newton-meter

Kilogram-force meter — sources

  • BIPM SI Brochure — Kilogram-force and its derivatives are non-SI units whose use is discouraged in favor of SI force/torque units.

How do I convert kilogram-force meter back to quettanewton meter?

Use the reverse factor: 1 kilogram-force meter equals 9.80665e-30 quettanewton meters. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.

What is a quettanewton meter?

Quettanewton meter (QN m) is a unit of torque.

What is a kilogram-force meter?

Kilogram-force meter (kgf m) measures torque. The torque produced by one kilogram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter. It is classified as a non-SI unit, deprecated but still encountered.

Is the quettanewton meter to kilogram-force meter conversion exact?

Yes. Both quettanewton meter and kilogram-force meter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.019716e+29 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.

What is the difference between kgf·m vs. n·m?

The newton-meter is the modern SI torque unit; kilogram-force meter is the older, gravity-dependent equivalent still occasionally seen on legacy specifications. 1 kgf·m equals exactly 9.80665 N·m.
