What are Kilogram-force Meter and Inch-pound

Definition of Kilogram-force Meter

A kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one kilogram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter from a pivot point. It quantifies the twisting effect produced by a force applied at a distance, an essential concept in mechanical and structural engineering.

Definition of Inch-pound

An inch-pound (in·lbf) is a unit of torque in the Imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It represents the force of one pound acting on a lever one inch from the pivot point, thus causing rotation. This unit is commonly used in the US for specifying tightening torques for fasteners and in automotive applications.
