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.
Ounce-Force Inch
Ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one ounce-force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The ounce-force inch originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure torque. It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.
Current Use
Today, ounce-force inch is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as small-scale mechanical and automotive applications, where imperial units are still prevalent. It is considered a non-SI unit and is less common in modern scientific and international standards.
