What does kilonewton meter measure?

Kilonewton meter quantifies torque representing the rotational effect produced by a one kilonewton force applied at a one meter lever arm.

Why convert kilonewton meters to gram-force meters?

This conversion allows expressing large torque magnitudes into smaller units useful for precise calibration and testing, especially where legacy units are preferred.

Is the gram-force meter an SI unit?

No, gram-force meter is a non-SI unit that corresponds to the torque from a force of one gram-force acting one meter from a pivot.
