Unit Story
Pound-inch of torque
Pound-inches suit smaller fasteners and mechanisms where pound-feet would be too coarse. Twelve pound-inches equal one pound-foot.
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.
