What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms values of moment of inertia from gram square millimeters (g·mm²), a metric unit for tiny mechanical parts, into pound square inches [lb*in^2], an Imperial unit used in US customary engineering contexts. It helps users translate measurements for small-scale inertial properties between the metric system and Imperial units.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the value in gram square millimeters (g·mm²) you want to convert.
- Select pound square inches [lb*in^2] as the target unit.
- Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent moment of inertia in the Imperial system.
- Use the provided examples as a reference for your calculations.

- Supports precise translation of small inertial measurements for micro-mechanical and mechanical engineering use.
- Provides clear unit definitions and practical use cases in mechanical and CAD/FEA contexts.
- Browser-based and easy to use for engineering and industrial applications.
- Includes example calculations to demonstrate accurate conversions.
Examples
- 500 gram square millimeters = 0.0017085859 pound square inch [lb*in^2]
- 1000 gram square millimeters = 0.0034171719 pound square inch [lb*in^2]
Common Use Cases
- Specifying moments of inertia for very small mechanical parts such as watch components and tiny gears.
- Input and output for CAD/FEA and balance calculations involving small rotors or micro-mechanical assemblies.
- Engineering calculations of rotational inertia for shafts, gears, and couplings in Imperial units.
- Designing flywheels or rotors in automotive and industrial equipment using US customary units.
- Reporting inertial properties in precision instrumentation and small-scale experiments.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure consistent use of units to maintain accuracy between metric and Imperial systems.
- Pay attention to significant figures to minimize rounding errors in sensitive engineering calculations.
- Distinguish clearly between mass-based pounds (lbm) and force units when performing conversions.
- Use this converter solely for moment of inertia values and avoid applying results directly to torque or force units without additional context.
Limitations
- Conversion accuracy relies on proper unit definitions and consistent use of mass pound (lbm).
- Small numerical values can lead to rounding errors if significant figures are not carefully handled.
- Not designed for converting torque or force-related units without further physical information.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a gram square millimeter represent?
- A gram square millimeter is a unit of mass moment of inertia equal to one gram located at a radius whose square equals one square millimeter, used primarily for very small mechanical parts.
- When should I use pound square inch [lb*in^2] units?
- Pound square inch [lb*in^2] units are used for mass moment of inertia calculations in Imperial/US customary systems, often in automotive, industrial, and small shaft or gear design.
- Can this tool be used to convert torque values?
