What is a newton meter [N*m]?

A newton meter (N·m) is the SI derived unit of torque, defined as the torque generated by a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a lever arm of one metre. It represents rotational force rather than energy.

Why use kilogram-force millimeter instead of newton meter?

Kilogram-force millimeter is used mainly for very small torque measurements, calibration of low-range torque tools, and in legacy or regional documents where gravitational units are preferred over SI units.

How do I convert a value from newton meter to kilogram-force millimeter?

Multiply the value in newton meter by the conversion factor 101.9716212978 to get the equivalent in kilogram-force millimeter.
