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 It has been used historically in the United States and other countries employing imperial units, but has largely been replaced by the metric system in scientific applications.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.
Pound-Force Foot
The pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one foot from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The pound-force foot originated from the Imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify torque in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the pound-force foot is still used in certain engineering fields, particularly in the United States, to measure torque in automotive, mechanical, and structural applications, although the SI unit newton meter is more common internationally.
