What is an ounce-force inch used for?

An ounce-force inch is used to measure very small torque moments, such as in electronics assembly and precision instruments.

How large is one kilonewton meter compared to newton metres?

One kilonewton meter is equal to 1,000 newton metres, representing a much larger torque value.

Why might conversions between ounce-force inch and kilonewton meter result in very small numbers?

Because ounce-force inch measures small torque and kilonewton meter measures large torque, converting often yields very small numerical values.
