Formula
MW = kgf·m/s × 9.80665e-6
Multiply any value in kilograms-force metre per second by 9.80665e-6 to obtain the value in megawatts.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 kgf·m/s to MW.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 kgf·m/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 9.80665e-6 = 9.80665 MW.
Result1.00000e+6 kgf·m/s = 9.80665 MW

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kgf·m/s to MW?
1 kgf·m/s equals 9.80665e-6 MW. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force metre per second by 9.80665e-6.
How do I convert 1 kgf·m/s to MW?
1 kgf·m/s = 9.80665e-6 MW. For any value, multiply by 9.80665e-6.
How do I convert MW back to kgf·m/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 101971.6. So 1 MW = 101972 kgf·m/s.
When would I need to convert kilogram-force metre per second to megawatt?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
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).
