Gram-Force Meter

gf·m

Definition

The gram-force meter (gf·m) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, equal to 0.00980665 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one gram-force applied at one meter from the pivot point.

History/Origin

This unit was part of the technical system of units, used for smaller torque measurements in scientific and engineering applications. It provided a practical unit for gram-scale force applications.

Current Use

Still found in some specialized scientific instruments and laboratory equipment where gram-force measurements are more practical than kilogram-force measurements for small-scale applications.

Kilogram-Force Centimeter

kgf·cm

Definition

The kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, equal to 0.0980665 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one kilogram-force applied at one centimeter from the pivot point.

History/Origin

This unit was commonly used in the technical system of units for smaller torque measurements. It provided a practical unit for centimeter-scale applications in engineering and manufacturing.

Current Use

Still found in some industrial contexts and older technical specifications, particularly in countries with a history of using gravitational metric units for engineering applications.
