What does one ounce-force inch represent?

It represents the torque produced by a one avoirdupois ounce force acting through a one-inch lever arm and is used as a small mechanical energy unit.

What is a ton-hour (refrigeration)?

A ton-hour (refrigeration) quantifies the cooling energy equivalent to one refrigeration ton maintained for one hour, used in HVAC and refrigeration engineering.

Why are conversion results often very small?

Because ounce-force inch is a tiny unit of energy compared to the much larger ton-hour (refrigeration), resulting in very small converted values.

Examples

100 ounce-force inch converts to 5.5775497544139e-8 ton-hour (refrigeration).
1,000,000 ounce-force inch converts to 0.00055775497544139 ton-hour (refrigeration).

Common Use Cases

Determining small torque values in precision devices like watches or camera lenses and comparing them to large-scale cooling energy.
Sizing and reporting energy removed by commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems through ton-hour metrics.
Estimating thermal energy storage capacity for load management using ton-hour units.

Tips & Best Practices

Handle very small output values carefully due to the significant difference in unit scales.
Use this conversion primarily when comparing or integrating mechanical energy measurements with thermal energy data.
Validate unit selections to ensure meaningful energy comparisons between mechanical and refrigeration contexts.

Limitations

The ounce-force inch being a very small energy unit results in extremely small conversion values, necessitating cautious number handling.
Because ounce-force inch is non-SI and ton-hour (refrigeration) is specialized, conversions are mainly applicable in interdisciplinary engineering areas.
This tool is not suitable for all energy conversion needs outside of specific mechanical and refrigeration applications.
