What is a kilogram-force millimeter?

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

Why use dyne millimeter for torque measurements?

Dyne millimeter is preferred for very small torque values and precision tasks in cgs unit systems, such as in micro-mechanical instruments.

Can this conversion be affected by local gravity?

Yes, because kilogram-force millimeter is based on gravitational force, slight variations in local gravity might affect exact values.
