About Milligram-Force
One milligram-force (mgf) is the gravitational force on 1 mg under standard gravity - exactly 9.80665 × 10⁻⁶ N. It is the natural unit for ultra-precise analytical balances: a 0.001 mg readability balance resolves ~9.8 nN = 0.001 mgf. MEMS force sensors in precision weighing cells are specified in mgf. Watchmaking uses mgf gauges to measure hairspring and detent actuation forces. Entomology and microbiology measure insect and microorganism attachment forces in mgf. Aerospace composite strain sensors are calibrated with mgf reference weights. 1 mgf = 9.80665 µN = 0.980665 dyn.
About Metric Ton-Force
One metric tonne-force (tf) is the gravitational force on 1,000 kg under standard gravity - exactly 9,806.65 N = 9.80665 kN. It dominates international heavy engineering: crane hook capacities are rated in tf (a '50-tonne crane' lifts 50 tf = 490.3 kN); ship mooring lines, anchor holding power, and cargo lashing per IMO standards are in tf; hydraulic presses for metal extrusion and stamping in Europe and Asia are rated in tf. ISO 7531 lifting-gear working load limits (WLL) use tf. 1 tf = 1,000 kgf = 9,806.65 N = 2,204.6 lbf.
