Ounce-force quick reference
| Ounce-force | Newton | Pound-force | Millinewton |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ozf | = 0.27801385095378125 N | = 0.0625 lbf | = 278.01385095378125 mN |
| 10 ozf | = 2.7801385095378125 N | = 0.625 lbf | = 2780.1385095378125 mN |
| 100 ozf | = 27.801385095378125 N | = 6.25 lbf | = 27801.385095378125 mN |
| 1000 ozf | = 278.01385095378125 N | = 62.5 lbf | = 278013.85095378125 mN |
Where the ounce-force fits
The next smaller force unit is the poundal (pdl). 1 ozf ≈ 2.010878035 pdl, and 1 pdl ≈ 0.4972952027 ozf.
The next larger force unit is the newton (N). 1 ozf = 0.27801385095378125 N, and 1 N ≈ 3.59694309 ozf.
