What units does this converter support?

It converts between ounce-force inch (ozf·in) and pound-force foot (lbf·ft), both used for measuring energy or torque.

Why convert from ounce-force inch to pound-force foot?

To translate small torque or energy measurements from precision metric-related hardware into imperial units, commonly required when dealing with legacy data or mixed systems.

Can this tool distinguish between torque and energy?

No, while torque and energy share the same dimensional units, the tool treats the measurement units identically; users should apply context-specific interpretation.

Key Terminology

Ounce-force inch (ozf·in): A non‑SI unit of energy or torque equal to the moment generated by one avoirdupois ounce force acting through a one-inch lever arm.
Pound-force foot (lbf·ft): An imperial unit of energy or torque defined as the work done by one pound-force acting along one foot displacement in the force direction.
Torque: A measure of rotational force; dimensionally equivalent to energy but distinct in physical interpretation.
