What is a newton centimeter?

A newton centimeter (N·cm) is a torque unit representing a force of one newton applied at a one centimeter lever arm, equal to 0.01 newton metre.

What does gram-force meter measure?

A gram-force meter (gf*m) measures torque produced by one gram-force acting at one meter from a pivot, and is a non-SI gravitational unit.

Why convert between these units?

Conversions help translate torque values between SI derived units used in precision work and non-SI units used in legacy or regional systems.
