What does kilogram-force centimeter measure?

Kilogram-force centimeter measures energy or torque created by a force of one kilogram-force applied over one centimeter.

Where is inch-ounce commonly used?

Inch-ounce is often used for specifying small torque values in miniature electric motors, servos, electronic connectors, and precision instruments.

Why convert between kilogram-force centimeter and inch-ounce?

Conversion is helpful because kilogram-force centimeter appears in older texts and some hobby applications, while inch-ounce is preferred in precise torque specifications.
