What is a kilogram-force meter?

It is a unit of moment of force defined by a force of one kilogram-force applied at a one-meter lever arm, equal to 9.80665 newton-metres.

When should I use ton-force (metric) meters?

Use them for expressing torque or moments for heavy machinery and structural elements where loads are measured in metric tons.

Does this conversion apply under non-standard gravity?

No, the conversion assumes standard gravity and may not be accurate if gravitational acceleration varies.
