The kilogram-force , or kilopond , is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It does not comply with the International System of Units and is deprecated for most uses. The kilogram-force is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted on one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s gravitational field. That is, it is the weight of a kilogram under standard gravity. Therefore, one kilogram-force is by definition equal to 9.80665 N. Similarly, a gram-force is 9.80665 mN, and a milligram-force is 9.80665 μN.
Kilogram-force is a non-standard unit and is classified in the International System of Units as a unit that is not accepted for use with SI.
