FAQ

What is the conversion factor from gf to dyn?
1 gf equals 980.665 dyn. To convert, multiply the value in grams-force by 980.665.
How do I convert 1 gf to dyn?
1 gf = 980.665 dyn. For any value, multiply by 980.665.
How do I convert dyn back to gf?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001019716. So 1 dyn = 0.00101972 gf.
When would I need to convert gram-force to dyne?
Force conversions between gf and dyn are needed in structural analysis, mechanical equipment design, lifting and rigging calculations, and load specification. Newtons and kilonewtons are standard in SI-based structural codes; pound-force and kips are common in US codes and vendor datasheets.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
