What does an ounce-force inch represent?

It represents a small unit of energy or torque generated by a one-ounce force acting through a one-inch lever arm, often used to specify small torques.

How is horsepower (metric) hour defined?

Horsepower (metric) hour is the energy produced by sustaining one metric horsepower for one hour, equivalent to 2,647,795.5 joules.

When should I use this converter?

Use it to convert small mechanical work or torque measurements into standard energy units for engine power assessments or historical energy analysis.
