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 Millimeter

kgf·mm

Definition

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

History/Origin

This unit was used in the technical system of units for very precise torque measurements at millimeter scales. It provided a practical unit for fine mechanical adjustments and precision work.

Current Use

Primarily found in older technical specifications and some specialized manufacturing applications where millimeter-scale precision is required and gravitational metric units are maintained.
