What are Inch-pound and Ounce-force Inch

Definition of Inch-pound

An inch-pound (in-lb) is a measurement of torque, which is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. It is a compound unit derived from inch (distance) and pound (force), signifying the force of one pound acting on the periphery of a one-inch radius.

Definition of Ounce-force Inch

An ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force applied by one ounce-force at a radius of one inch from the pivot point. It is smaller than the inch-pound and used for more precise torque measurements, often in delicate or small-scale applications.
