What does kilogram-force centimeter measure?

It is a unit of torque representing the moment created by a force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from a pivot.

When should I use dyne millimeter for torque measurements?

Dyne millimeter is ideal for describing very small torques in precision instruments and micro-mechanical components.

Are kilogram-force centimeter and dyne millimeter SI units?

No, kilogram-force centimeter is a non-SI gravitational unit, and dyne millimeter is derived from the cgs system.
