What does one ounce-force inch represent?

It represents the torque produced by a force of one avoirdupois ounce applied over a one-inch lever arm, serving as a small unit of energy or torque.

Where is kilocalorie (thermochemical) mainly used?

Kilocalorie (th) is primarily used to express energy in food labeling, dietary studies, and some thermal and chemical engineering applications.

Why might conversion values be very small?

Because ounce-force inch measures small torque, converting it to the larger thermal energy unit kilocalorie (th) results in very small numerical values.
