The abbreviation kN could be used to indicate kilonewtons. A newton is a unit of measurement used to describe the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of meter, per second, per second. Kilonewtons are used in rating fasteners and anchors to indicate the safe working parameters.
