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

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.
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.
