Gram-Force Meter
A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force meter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.
Inch-Pound
The inch-pound (in·lbf) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the force of one pound applied at the end of a one-inch lever arm.
History/Origin
The inch-pound has been used primarily in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, originating from the traditional use of inches and pounds in mechanical and engineering contexts, with its formal recognition dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical applications to measure torque and energy, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard.
