What are Ounce-force Inch and Newton Meter

An ounce-force inch (ozf·in) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force applied when an ounce-force is exerted at a distance of one inch from the pivot point. This measurement is essential in small-scale, precise applications such as calibrating torque screwdrivers or measuring the torque in small rotating systems where fine control is necessary.

A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI) that measures the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. One newton meter is the torque created by applying one newton force perpendicular to a moment arm which is one meter long. It's widely used in engineering, physics, and automotive industries to quantify rotational forces.
