What is a pound-force inch?

It is a unit of torque representing the turning force created by one pound-force acting perpendicular to a lever arm one inch long, used in imperial and US customary engineering.

What does a gram-force meter measure?

It measures torque as the moment created by one gram-force applied perpendicularly at a distance of one meter from a pivot, using a gravitational metric unit.

Why convert pound-force inch to gram-force meter?

To translate torque values from imperial units commonly used in mechanical and electronic tightening to gravitational metric units favored in precision instrumentation and quality control.
