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.

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.
