What is an inch-ounce unit used for?

An inch-ounce measures energy or torque generated by one ounce-force acting through a one-inch displacement, commonly used for small-scale torque in electronics and precision instruments.

Why convert inch-ounce to kilogram-force meter?

Converting allows expressing small torque values in a gravitational metric unit, helping integrate precise measurements with historical or larger scale mechanical energy assessments.

Is the kilogram-force meter an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI historical unit based on kilogram-force and used where force was expressed in kilogram-force rather than newtons.
