Our kilogram-force meter to ounce-inch calculator automatically converts your torque measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
kgf·m and ounce-inches are both units used to measure torque. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Kilogram-force Meter?
A kilogram-force meter is a unit of torque equal to 9.80665 newton-meters (N·m), the base unit for torque. Equal to 9.80665 N·m. [1]
The kilogram-force meter is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of torque. kgf·m can be abbreviated as kgf·m; for example, 1 kilogram-force meter can be written as 1 kgf·m.
In the metric system, "kilo" is the standard SI prefix for thousands, or 10³. This makes the kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) a convenient decimal multiple of the newton-meter (N·m).
In practice, kgf·m (kgf·m) are widely used across standard torque applications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is an Ounce-inch?
An ounce-inch is a unit of torque equal to 0.0070616 newton-meters (N·m), the base unit for torque. 1/16 of a pound-inch (0.0070616 N·m). [2]
The ounce-inch is classified as a US customary and imperial unit of torque. Ounce-inches can be abbreviated as oz·in; for example, 1 ounce-inch can be written as 1 oz·in.
When working with ounce-inches (oz·in) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, ounce-inches (oz·in) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale torque measurements within US customary and imperial workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting torque between kgf·m (kgf·m) and ounce-inches (oz·in), keep full floating-point precision (1 kgf·m = 1,388.7386594 oz·in; 1 oz·in = 0.000720078 kgf·m) during intermediate calculations and round only the final ounce-inch figure to match your instrument tolerance.
