Convert dynes to kN
Dynes to kilonewtons. Enter a value to convert, or use the dynes to kN chart further down the page.
1 dyne equals 1e-8 kilonewtons. Going the other way, 1 kilonewton = 100,000,000 dynes.
How to convert dynes to kN
To convert dynes to kilonewtons, multiply the dyne value by 1e-8. You can also divide by 100000000 to get the same answer.
kN = dyn × 1e-8
Worked example
Convert 15 dyn to kilonewtons:
15 dyn = 0.00000015 kN

What is a dyne?
A dyne is the CGS unit of force, equal to 10 micronewtons. It survives mainly in surface tension measurements, quoted as dynes per centimeter.
What is a kilonewton?
A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons — roughly the weight of 102 kilograms at the Earth’s surface. Structural loads and climbing hardware ratings are given in kilonewtons.
