What does an ounce-force inch measure?

It measures torque as an ounce-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one inch from a pivot, commonly used for very small torque moments.

Why use gram-force meter instead of newton-metres?

Gram-force meter is utilized in legacy and regional measurements and for calibration in precision instruments where gravitational metric units apply instead of strictly SI units.

Can this converter be used for large torque values?

This converter is best suited for small torque values, as both units represent very small torques and may not be appropriate for large magnitude conversions.
