Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a dyne millimeter?
-
A dyne millimeter is a cgs-derived torque unit representing one dyne of force applied at one millimeter from a pivot, equal to 1×10⁻⁸ newton-metres.
-
What does a gram-force meter measure?
-
A gram-force meter measures torque produced by one gram-force acting at one meter distance from a pivot; it equals 0.00980665 newton-metres.
-
Why convert from dyne millimeter to gram-force meter?
-
Conversion helps express very small torque measurements in a gravitational metric unit commonly used in precision instruments and legacy or regional settings.
