What is a kilogram-force meter?

It is a gravitational metric unit of energy representing the work done by a force of one kilogram-force acting through one metre. It is a non-SI, historical unit.

Why convert kilogram-force meters to kilowatt-hours?

Conversion helps translate legacy mechanical energy values into standard electrical energy units used in billing, storage, and production reporting.

Is the kilogram-force meter unit still used?

It is mostly found in historical engineering documents and is not common in modern scientific measurements.
