A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque in the Metric system. It is defined as the torque produced by one kilopond force applied at a perpendicular distance of one meter from the pivot point. This unit combines the kilopond, a unit of force, with the meter, a unit of distance, to measure rotational force.
Definition of Pound-force InchA pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque in the Imperial system of units. It is the torque or rotational force generated when a one pound-force is applied to a lever one inch from the pivot point. The pound-force inch is widely used in various engineering and mechanical applications where torque measurement is essential.
