What is a kilogram-force centimeter used for?

It expresses small amounts of mechanical work or energy, often found in engineering texts and torque specifications for small motors.

Why is the ton (explosives) value approximate?

Because it depends on the type of explosive and the conditions under which it detonates, affecting the actual energy released.

Can I use this tool for precise explosive energy measurements?

No, the conversion is meant for theoretical or comparative purposes, not exact explosion yield calculations.
