A pound is a measure of mass, a kN is a measure of weight. The two are measures of different things and a direct conversion is not valid.
MG KN was created in 1933.
There can be no equivalence. A kilonewton is a measure of force while a pound is a measure of mass. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
1 ton (force) = 9964.016 newtons = 9.964016 KN
15 kN = 15 x 1000 N = 15000 N
