What is ounce-force inch used for?

It is used to specify small torques for precision components like watch parts, camera mechanisms, and to describe tiny amounts of work in legacy mechanical data.

Why convert ounce-force inch to kilogram-force meter?

Conversion aids in translating small torque or energy values into a gravitational metric unit for better comparison, recalibration, or integration with standardized systems.

Are ounce-force inch and kilogram-force meter SI units?

No, both are non-SI units. Kilogram-force meter is a historical metric unit, while ounce-force inch is used mainly in legacy or precision hardware contexts.
