Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 kilogram-force meter represent?
It is a torque unit equal to the moment produced by a force of one kilogram-force applied perpendicularly at one meter length.

Why convert to pound-force inch?
Pound-force inch is used in imperial and US customary systems, common in applications involving small fasteners, electronics, and certain motor specifications.

Can I use this conversion for high-precision engineering?
This tool provides conversion using standard constants, but slight rounding errors can appear in very precise applications.

Key Terminology

Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m)
A torque unit representing the moment produced by a one kilogram-force applied at a one meter distance; used in non-SI metric contexts.
Pound-force inch (lbf·in)
A torque unit equal to the moment from a one pound-force applied at one inch lever arm; common in imperial and US customary engineering.
Torque
A measure of turning or twisting force applied to an object, typically expressed as force times distance.
