What Is This Tool?

This tool converts values of torque or energy from ounce-force inch (ozf·in), a non-SI unit used for small torques, to inch-pound (in·lbf), a commonly used US customary unit for torque and energy. It helps translate small mechanical measurements into a widely recognized unit for engineering and precision applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the torque or energy value in ounce-force inch (ozf·in)
Select ounce-force inch as the input unit and inch-pound as the output unit
Click convert to get the equivalent value in inch-pound (in·lbf)
Use the result for engineering, testing, or documentation purposes

Key Features

Converts from ounce-force inch (ozf·in) to inch-pound (in·lbf) with a fixed rate
Supports small-scale torque and energy conversions for precision hardware
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring complex formulas
Useful for translating legacy mechanical specifications into customary units

Examples

Convert 10 ozf·in: 10 × 0.0625 = 0.625 in·lbf
Convert 16 ozf·in: 16 × 0.0625 = 1.0 in·lbf

Common Use Cases

Specifying small torques for precision components like watch parts or camera lenses
Rating torque output of small servos or gearboxes in consumer electronics
Describing torque or energy in legacy mechanical datasheets
Setting small torque values on wrenches and hand tools in electronics assembly
Testing mechanical properties of springs, clamps, or other small components

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values represent small-scale torque or energy
Remember the conversion factor is 0.0625 for ozf·in to in·lbf
Use this tool primarily for legacy units or precision applications
Consider SI units if dealing with larger torque or energy values
Be mindful of rounding when working with precise instruments

Limitations

Ounce-force inch is a non-SI unit and less frequently used in modern engineering
The conversion applies best to small torque/energy amounts, not large values
Rounding errors may occur due to the fractional conversion factor
Different unit conventions might cause confusion without clear documentation
