What is a pound-force inch used for?

A pound-force inch measures mechanical work done by a one pound-force over a one-inch distance, commonly used in US customary mechanical engineering contexts.

How is inch-ounce defined?

An inch-ounce is the energy or torque from a one ounce-force acting through a one-inch displacement, frequently used in small-scale torque measurements like electronics and watchmaking.

What is the conversion rate between pound-force inch and inch-ounce?

1 pound-force inch equals 16 inch-ounce in mechanical energy units.
