What is a gram-force centimeter?

A gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit of torque equal to the moment created by a force of one gram-force applied perpendicularly at a lever arm of one centimeter.

Where is pound-force inch commonly used?

Pound-force inch is an imperial unit of torque often used in engineering, especially for specifying tightening torque for small fasteners and electronics screws.

Why should I be careful when converting between these units?

Because gram-force centimeter is very small and non-SI, and pound-force inch is imperial, conversions require attention to avoid rounding errors and maintain precision in critical applications.
