Unit Story
Kilogram-force meter
A kilogram-force meter uses the force from standard gravity acting on one kilogram at a one-meter lever arm. It is not an SI torque unit.
Newton-meter
A newton-meter of torque is one newton of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter. Context matters because the same unit dimensions can also describe energy.
How This Conversion Works
