kilopond การใช้
- A kilopond originally referred to the weight of a mass of one kilogram.
- Strictly speaking, the scale should be labelled with the ( non-SI ) unit of force called the kilogram-force or kilopond.
- Since the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the earth can differ, one gets different values for the unit kilopond and its derived units at different locations.
- To avoid this, the kilopond was first defined at sea-level and a latitude of 45 degrees, since 1902 via the Standard gravity of 9.80665 m / s 2.
- However historically, the kilopond was also called kilogram, and only later the kilogram-mass ( today's kilogram ) was separated from the kilogram-force ( today's kilopond ).

- The pound-force has a metric counterpart, less commonly used than the newton : the kilogram-force ( kgf ) ( sometimes kilopond ), is the force exerted by standard gravity on one kilogram of mass.
