What does one ounce-force inch represent?

One ounce-force inch is a unit of torque equal to one ounce-force applied perpendicularly at one inch from the pivot, used for very small torque measurements.

Why convert ounce-force inch to gram-force centimeter?

Converting to gram-force centimeter helps specify very small torques in different unit standards, commonly used in precision calibration and watchmaking.

Are these units part of the SI system?

No, both ounce-force inch and gram-force centimeter are non-SI units used mainly for measuring small torques.
