What is a gram-force meter (gf*m)?

A gram-force meter is a unit of torque representing the moment produced by a force of one gram-force applied one meter from a pivot point.

Why convert gf*m to N*m?

Converting to newton meter standardizes torque measurements with SI units used worldwide, enabling consistent engineering calculations.

Can the gram-force meter be used without conversion in technical fields?

Generally, no. Since it is a non-SI unit, using it without conversion may cause inaccuracies, especially in precise applications.
