What does inch-ounce measure?

An inch-ounce quantifies energy or torque resulting from a one ounce-force applied over a one-inch distance, often used for small torque specifications.

Why convert inch-ounce to calorie (IT)?

This conversion helps translate mechanical torque energy into an older thermal energy unit useful for analyzing historical thermodynamic data and legacy engineering applications.

Is calorie (IT) still used today?

Calorie (IT) is mostly a historical unit replaced by joules but remains relevant for interpreting older scientific and engineering documentation.
