What does inch-pound [in*lbf] measure?

It measures energy or torque as the force of one pound applied over a one-inch distance, commonly used in US customary engineering.

How many ounce-force inches are in one inch-pound?

One inch-pound equals sixteen ounce-force inches, making it useful for converting larger torque into smaller, precise units.

What is an ounce-force inch [ozf*in] used for?

It is used to specify small torque values in precision hardware such as watch components and camera lenses, and to rate small servo torque.
