Kilogram-Force Meter

kgf·m

Definition

The kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, representing the rotational force produced by one kilogram-force applied at one meter. It is widely used in some engineering disciplines, particularly in countries that historically used the kilogram-force.

History/Origin

This unit was a standard in the technical system of units, prevalent in many parts of the world before the full adoption of the SI system. It provided a practical measure of torque directly related to the force of gravity on a kilogram mass.

Current Use

Commonly encountered in older engineering specifications, particularly in Europe and Asia. While SI units are now preferred, it remains relevant for understanding existing machinery and designs in certain industries.

Gram-Force Centimeter

gf·cm

Definition

The gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a gravitational metric unit of torque, equal to 9.80665E-5 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one gram-force applied at one centimeter from the pivot point.

History/Origin

This unit was commonly used in the CGS and technical systems for small-scale torque measurements in precision instruments and laboratory equipment. It provided a practical unit for fine mechanical work.

Current Use

Found in some specialized scientific instruments, older technical literature, and in fields where CGS or technical units are maintained for consistency with historical data and measurements.
