What is a kilogram-force meter used for?

It is used to specify torque for bolts, tools, and engines in older or non-SI metric contexts and appears in legacy automotive and equipment manuals.

Where is gram-force millimeter commonly applied?

This unit is used to measure very small torques in precision machinery such as watches, miniature motors, robotics, and quality control.

How do I convert between kilogram-force meters and gram-force millimeters?

One kilogram-force meter equals one million gram-force millimeters, enabling translation from larger torque values to very small ones.
