- Slight discrepancies can arise because kilogram-force units depend on gravitational constants.
- Conversion assumes perpendicular force application; different conditions require manual adjustment.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a poundal inch?
- It is a unit of torque in the foot–poundal–second system, defined by a one poundal force applied at a one inch lever arm perpendicular to the force.
- Why convert poundal inch to kilogram-force meter?
- Converting enables the use of legacy torque measurements in modern engineering or educational contexts where kilogram-force meters are standard.
- Are converted torque values exact?
- Converted values approximate the equivalent moment of force but may have small differences due to unit definition variations and measurement precision.
Key Terminology
- Poundal inch [pdl*in]
- A torque unit in the foot–poundal–second system equal to one poundal force acting perpendicular at one inch.
- Kilogram-force meter [kgf*m]
- A unit of torque equal to one kilogram-force applied perpendicularly at one meter lever arm.
- Moment of force (Torque)
- A measure of the rotational force applied to an object causing it to rotate about an axis.
