Convert Kilonewton to Pound-Force (kN to lbf)
Convert Kilonewtons (kN) to Pound-Force (lbf). Rock climbers act in kilonewtons—carabiners are rated e.g., '24 kN'. To understand what that means in 'weight', converting to lbs helps: 1 kN is roughly equal to 225 lbs of static weight.
Multiply kN by approx 225. For example, a 24 kN carabiner can hold ≈ 5400 lbs of force.
