    I found this:

    "The kilonewton, symbol kN, is an SI unit of force. It is equal to 1000 newtons (N). Note that the unit symbol "kN" must be written with a small "k" and capital "N", but the unit name "kilonewton", like "newton", is all small letters."

    1 kilonewton = 224.8089 pound-force (lbf)
