Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
kgf·m/s = kW × 101.9716
Multiply any value in kilowatts by 101.9716 to obtain the value in kilograms-force metre per second.
Worked example
Convert 10 kW to kgf·m/s.
- 01Start with 10 kW.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 101.9716 = 1019.72 kgf·m/s.
Result10 kW = 1019.72 kgf·m/s

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kW to kgf·m/s?
1 kW equals 101.9716 kgf·m/s. To convert, multiply the value in kilowatts by 101.9716.
How do I convert 1 kW to kgf·m/s?
1 kW = 101.972 kgf·m/s. For any value, multiply by 101.9716.
How do I convert kgf·m/s back to kW?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.00980665. So 1 kgf·m/s = 0.00980665 kW.
When would I need to convert kilowatt to kilogram-force metre per second?
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).
