What is a dyne centimeter?

A dyne centimeter is a CGS unit of torque equal to the moment produced by a force of one dyne applied perpendicularly at a distance of one centimeter from a pivot.

Where is ounce-force inch commonly used?

Ounce-force inch is typically used in measuring very small torque moments such as those in electronics assembly, miniature motor calibration, and watchmaking.

Why convert from dyne centimeter to ounce-force inch?

Converting helps translate small torque measurements from legacy CGS units to units more commonly used in precision mechanical and electronic applications.
