About the units
Dyne (dyn)
A dyne is the CGS unit of force, equal to 0.00001 newtons.
Kilonewton (kN)
A kilonewton equals 1,000 newtons, used for structural and anchor loads.

Frequently asked questions
How many kilonewtons are in one dyne?
One dyne equals 1e-8 kilonewtons. 1e-8 is the exact factor used by this converter.
How do I convert dynes to kilonewtons?
Multiply the value in dynes by 1e-8. To go the other way, multiply kilonewtons by 100,000,000.
What is 10 dyn in kN?
10 dyn = 1e-7 kN. Also, 5 dyn = 5e-8 kN and 100 dyn = 0.000001 kN.
What is the difference between a dyne and a kilonewton?
A dyne is the CGS unit of force, equal to 0.00001 newtons. A kilonewton equals 1,000 newtons, used for structural and anchor loads.
