What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert a force value from gram-force (gf), a non-SI unit used in practical small-scale force measurements, to piconewton (pN), an SI unit that quantifies extremely small forces common in nanoscale and molecular research.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the force value in gram-force (gf) to be converted
  • Select gram-force as the input unit and piconewton as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent force in piconewtons

Key Features

  • Converts force values from gram-force to piconewton instantly
  • Supports measurement of very small forces for engineering and research
  • Browser-based and easy to operate without special software

Examples

  • 2 gf equals 19613300000 pN
  • 0.5 gf equals 4903325000 pN

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying actuation force for switches and keyboard keys
  • Rating small springs and low-capacity load cells in product testing
  • Measuring forces in molecular biology and nanotechnology experiments
  • Characterizing forces in MEMS/NEMS devices and nanoscale mechanics

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input force values are accurate and correspond to standard gravity where applicable
  • Use this converter for translating legacy engineering units into precise nanoscale measurements
  • Be aware of instrument sensitivity requirements when working with piconewton values

Limitations

  • Gram-force depends on standard gravity, which can vary slightly by location
  • Piconewton forces are extremely small and require specialized sensitive instruments
  • Conversion assumes ideal conditions and may not account for environmental factors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gram-force (gf)?
A gram-force is a non-SI unit of force equal to the force exerted by a mass of one gram under standard gravity, used for expressing very small practical forces.

Why convert gram-force to piconewton?
Converting from gram-force to piconewton helps translate practical small-scale forces into ultra-precise measurements needed in nanotechnology and molecular research.

Are there any limitations I should consider?
Yes, gram-force varies slightly due to gravity differences by location, and piconewton measurements require sensitive equipment and assume ideal conditions.

Key Terminology

Gram-force (gf)
A non-SI force unit equal to the force exerted by a mass of one gram under standard gravity, used for small practical forces.
Piconewton (pN)
An SI unit of force equal to 10⁻¹² newtons, used to quantify extremely small forces at molecular and nanoscale levels.
Standard Gravity
The conventional acceleration due to gravity, defined as 9.80665 m/s², used in defining the gram-force.
