What is an inch-pound (in*lbf)?

An inch-pound is a unit of energy or torque representing one pound-force applied over a one-inch distance, commonly used in US engineering.

Why convert inch-pound to gram-force centimeter?

Conversions allow torque or energy values in inch-pounds to be expressed in smaller, precise units useful in precision instruments and legacy measurements.

Is gram-force centimeter an SI unit?

No, gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit often used for very small mechanical work amounts in fields like watchmaking.
