Newton to Tonne

Hey, I am trying to convert the newton measurement on my tensile tester to tonne. In the conversions is that the same as converting to kilopond or am I off the mark?

Using kilopond would be quite a bit off. A tonne is the French spelling of the metric ton, and is used to distinguish it from the long and short tons used in the U.S.

Use this conversion factor:
1 newton = 0.00010197162 tonne-force
