What is a dyne millimeter used for?

It is used to describe very small torques in precision instruments, like watch movements and small gear trains, as well as for low-range torque outputs in small motors and laboratory measurements.

What does one pound-force inch represent?

One pound-force inch is the torque produced by a one pound-force applied perpendicular to a lever arm one inch long. It is commonly used in imperial engineering to quantify turning forces.

Why is this conversion important?

It helps express very small torques originally measured in cgs units as pound-force inches, which are more commonly used in engineering practices involving small fasteners and motors.

Key Terminology

Dyne millimeter [dyn*mm]: A cgs-derived torque unit, representing one dyne of force applied at a one millimeter lever arm, equaling 1×10⁻⁸ newton-metres.
Pound-force inch [lbf*in]: An imperial unit of torque representing the moment produced by one pound-force applied at a one inch lever arm.
Torque: A measure of the rotational force or moment produced by a force acting at a distance from an axis.
