What is an inch-ounce used for?

An inch-ounce measures small mechanical energy or torque, commonly applied to electronic connectors and precision instruments.

Why convert inch-ounce to kilocalorie (IT)?

This conversion helps express small mechanical energy values in terms of thermal energy, useful in thermodynamics and calorimetry.

Is this tool suitable for large energy conversions?

No, because inch-ounce is a small unit, converting to kilocalorie (IT) yields very small values, making it less practical for large-scale energy.
