What is a newton meter?

A newton meter (N·m) is the SI derived unit of torque representing the moment created by a perpendicular force of one newton applied at a distance of one meter.

What is a gram-force meter?

A gram-force meter (gf*m) is a non-SI unit of torque equal to the torque produced by one gram-force acting at one meter distance from a pivot point.

Why convert newton meters to gram-force meters?

Conversions help translate torque measurements from common SI units used in automotive and mechanical engineering to non-SI units favored in precision instruments, quality control, or in legacy systems.

Is the gram-force meter interchangeable with the newton meter?

No, because the gram-force meter depends on standard gravity and is not an SI unit, which may cause discrepancies if used interchangeably without conversion.
