What is an ounce-force inch?

An ounce-force inch is a unit of torque or energy defined by a one ounce-force acting over a one-inch lever arm, typically used for very small mechanical forces.

What does one horsepower hour represent?

One horsepower hour measures the energy delivered when one horsepower of power is sustained continuously for one hour, commonly used in industrial contexts.

Why convert ounce-force inch to horsepower hour?

This conversion helps translate small precision torque or work amounts into larger, more practical energy units common in motor and engine power assessments.
