What is a pound-force inch (lbf·in)?

It's a torque unit representing the turning force produced by one pound-force applied at a one-inch distance from the pivot.

Why convert pound-force inch to kilogram-force millimeter?

Conversion helps translate torque values between imperial systems and gravitational metric units, which is useful in precision mechanical and calibration work.

Can this conversion be used for large torque values?

No, this tool is designed specifically for small torque values where precise measurement is critical.
