Decinewtons
A decinewton (dN) is 0.1 newtons. It’s rarely used but could be practical in situations involving small forces, such as in laboratory experiments or precision measurements where high accuracy is needed.
Kilogram-Force
Kilogram-force (kgf) is the force exerted by the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. It is often used in engineering to describe the force of everyday objects and loads, such as the force exerted by a heavy tool or piece of equipment. It is a non-SI unit but still finds practical use in many fields.
