How to convert dynes to kilonewtons
kN = dyn × 1×10⁻⁸Multiply the value in dynes by 1×10⁻⁸. To go the other way, multiply by 100,000,000 (or divide by 1×10⁻⁸).
A dyne is smaller than a kilonewton: it takes 100,000,000 dynes to make one kilonewton.

About the units
Dyne (dyn)
The CGS unit of force: 1 g⋅cm/s² = 10⁻⁵ N. One dyne equals 0.00001 newtons (N).
Kilonewton (kN)
One thousand newtons; used for structural loads, anchor ratings and climbing gear. One kilonewton equals 1,000 newtons (N).
Frequently asked questions
How many kilonewtons are in one dyne?
There are 1×10⁻⁸ kilonewtons in one dyne, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert dynes to kilonewtons?
Multiply the number of dynes by 1×10⁻⁸. For example, 10 dyn × 1×10⁻⁸ = 1×10⁻⁷ kN.
How many dynes are in one kilonewton?
One kilonewton equals 100,000,000 dynes. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1×10⁻⁸.
What is 10 dynes in kilonewtons?
10 dyn = 1×10⁻⁷ kN.
Is this dyn to kN converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
