What is a gram-force meter (gf*m)?

It is a unit of work or energy representing the force of one gram-force acting over one meter, based on standard gravity and is non-SI.

Why convert gram-force meter to horsepower (metric) hour?

This conversion helps transform small mechanical work measurements into engine-related energy units for easier evaluation of engine output and efficiency.

Are there limitations to using this conversion?

Yes, because gram-force meter is non-SI and depends on standard gravity, the conversion may have discrepancies especially when high precision is needed.
