What is a gram-force meter?

A gram-force meter is a non-SI torque unit based on the moment caused by one gram-force acting perpendicularly at one meter from a pivot.

Why convert gram-force meter to newton millimeter?

Users convert to newton millimeter to utilize an SI-related unit suitable for small torque measurements found in precision engineering and instrumentation.

Are there any accuracy concerns with this conversion?

Yes, because the gram-force meter depends on standard gravity, local variations in gravitational strength can influence accuracy.
