What is a kilogram-force meter?

It is a historical gravitational metric unit of energy equal to the work done by a one kilogram-force acting through one meter displacement, equivalent to 9.80665 joules.

Why convert kilogram-force meter to millijoule?

Conversion is needed to translate historical or non-SI energy measurements into modern small-scale SI units used in science and engineering.

Is the kilogram-force meter an SI unit?

No, it is a non-SI, largely historical unit formerly used in contexts where force was expressed in kilogram-force rather than newtons.
