What is a gram-force meter?

A gram-force meter is a non-SI unit of torque representing the moment created by one gram-force acting at one meter from a pivot.

Why convert gram-force meters to pound-force inches?

Converting allows translating torque values from gravitational metric units used in legacy or regional contexts into imperial units commonly used in engineering and manufacturing.

Where is pound-force inch commonly used?

Pound-force inch is used in imperial and US customary engineering to specify tightening torques for small fasteners, calibration of torque tools, and output torque descriptions for small motors.
