Ounce-Force Inch

ozf·in

Definition

The ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is an imperial unit of torque, equal to 0.007061552 newton meters. It represents the rotational force produced by one ounce-force applied at one inch from the pivot point.

History/Origin

This unit was commonly used in the US customary system for small-scale torque measurements in precision engineering and manufacturing. It provided a practical unit for inch-scale applications.

Current Use

Frequently used in precision manufacturing, small mechanical devices, and laboratory equipment where inch-scale measurements and ounce-force applications are standard in US engineering practice.

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.
