What is a gram-force meter (gf·m)?

A gram-force meter is a non-SI unit of work or energy defined as the work done by a force of one gram-force applied through a distance of one meter.

How is kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) defined?

Kilogram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit of energy equal to the work done by one kilogram-force acting through a distance of one centimeter.

Why convert gram-force meters to kilogram-force centimeters?

Converting between these units helps translate legacy or specialized energy measurements into a common non-SI unit useful for small mechanical work and torque comparisons.

Limitations

Both gram-force meter and kilogram-force centimeter are non-SI units depending on standard gravity.
Local gravity variations are not accounted for which may affect exact energy values.
Units are suited for small mechanical energies; they may not be practical for larger values.
Conversion precision is limited by rounding and differences in unit standardization.
