What does gram-force (gf) measure?

Gram-force (gf) is a unit that measures force equivalent to the force exerted by one gram mass under standard gravity.

When should I use ounce-force (ozf)?

Ounce-force is useful for specifying small actuation or push forces in devices like switches and for rating small springs or latches.

Are gram-force and ounce-force SI units?

No, both units are non-SI and approximate forces calculated under standard gravity.
