What does ounce-force inch represent?

It is a non-SI unit of energy or torque equal to the moment by one avoirdupois ounce acting through a one-inch lever arm.

Why convert ounce-force inch to kilojoule?

The conversion expresses small mechanical work or torque in a standard SI energy unit for clarity in scientific and engineering contexts.

Is kilojoule used outside of engineering?

Yes, kilojoule is widely used in nutrition for reporting dietary energy and in chemical thermodynamics for reaction enthalpies.
