Default Spring rate kg. to lbs?

How do you convert kg rated springs to lbs?
Specifically 10kg and 14kg?

I assume those are kg/mm

10 kg/mm * 25.4mm/1 in * 1 lb/0.4536kg = 559.9 lb/in
14 kg/mm * 25.4mm/1 in * 1 lb/0.4536kg = 783.8 lb/in

(5.6) KG/cm to Lb/in... So 10kg/cm = 56 Lb/in and 14 kg would be 78.4 This is what I have to do because my springs came from INTRAX in Holland...

One of my settings would be 155kg and that would translate to 868Lb Spring rate..
