What does inch-ounce measure?

An inch-ounce measures energy or torque from a one ounce-force acting through one inch displacement, often for small-scale work or moments.

What is a foot-pound used for?

A foot-pound is used to quantify mechanical work or energy, such as torque in hand tools, machinery, and impact energy in ballistics.

Why convert inch-ounce to foot-pound?

Converting helps relate small torque or energy measurements in precision instruments to larger mechanical units for comparison or integration.
