What does one newton meter represent?

One newton meter is the torque resulting from a one newton force applied perpendicularly one meter from the rotation axis, representing rotational force.

When should I use ton-force meters instead of newton meters?

Ton-force meters are preferable for expressing torque related to heavy machinery or structural elements involving loads measured in metric tons.

Does local gravity affect torque conversions?

Yes, since the ton-force meter is based on standard gravity, variations in local gravitational acceleration may cause minor differences in conversion accuracy.
