Kilogram-Force Centimeter
Kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force centimeter originated from the use of the kilogram-force as a unit of force in the metric system, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length, primarily used in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, kgf·cm is largely considered a non-SI unit and is used in certain engineering fields, such as torque measurement in automotive and mechanical applications, but is being gradually replaced by SI units like Newton-meter (Nm).
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.
