Poundal Conversion Formulas

Poundal to Newton

N = pdl × 0.138255

Example: 10 pdl = 10 × 0.138255 = 1.38255 N

Poundal to Dyne

dyn = pdl × 138255

Example: 5 pdl = 5 × 138255 = 691275 dyn

Poundal to Pound-force

lbf = pdl × 0.031081

Example: 25 pdl = 25 × 0.031081 = 0.777025 lbf

Poundal to Kilogram-force

kgf = pdl × 0.014098

Example: 50 pdl = 50 × 0.014098 = 0.7049 kgf
