Why convert pound-force foot to ounce-force foot?

Converting helps specify smaller, more precise torque values necessary for delicate assemblies, precision instruments, and calibration tasks.

What is the conversion formula between these units?

One pound-force foot equals 16.0000001888 ounce-force feet.

Can I use pound-force foot values directly for small torque measurements?

No, because pound-force foot measures larger torque ranges and small torque tasks require the finer ounce-force foot unit for accuracy.
