Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound-force inch sq. second measure?
It measures rotational moment of inertia in the English engineering system, combining force, length, and time squared units.

Why convert to gram square centimeter?
Gram square centimeter is used in the cgs system and common in precision instrument design and laboratory calculations involving small rotating parts.

Can this converter be used for large rotating systems?
This converter is intended mainly for small to medium-sized systems; very large systems may require different unit conventions.

Key Terminology

Pound-force inch sq. second
A unit of rotational moment of inertia in English engineering, equal to pound-force times inch times second squared, representing mass times length squared via force-based mass.
Gram square centimeter
A cgs unit of moment of inertia, equal to mass in grams multiplied by distance squared in centimeters, used to quantify resistance to rotational acceleration.
