Ounce-Force Foot

ozf·ft

Definition

The ounce-force foot (ozf·ft) is an imperial unit of torque, equal to 0.084738624 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one ounce-force applied at one foot from the pivot point.

History/Origin

This unit was part of the US customary system for torque measurements in smaller applications. It provided a practical unit for ounce-scale force applications in engineering and manufacturing.

Current Use

Still used in some US engineering applications and manufacturing specifications where ounce-force measurements are more practical than pound-force measurements for smaller torque 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.
