What is a kilogram-force meter?

It is a unit of torque representing the moment caused by a force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one meter.

Why convert kilogram-force meters to gram-force centimeters?

Converting to gram-force centimeters allows expressing torque values in finer units suitable for precision tasks like watchmaking and instrument calibration.

Are these units part of the SI system?

No, both kilogram-force meter and gram-force centimeter are non-SI metric units based on gravitational force.
