What are Pound-force-foot and Inch-ounce

A pound-force foot (lbf-ft) is a unit of torque, which measures the rotational force applied at a distance of one foot from the pivot point. It combines linear force, measured in pounds-force (lbf), with the leverage arm measured in feet. This unit is crucial in engineering and mechanics to calculate the turning effect produced by applying force at a distance from an axis.

An inch-ounce (in-oz) is a unit of torque representing the force of one ounce acting on a lever arm one inch long. It is used to measure smaller torque values, often in applications such as precision instrument assembly where delicate handling is required. The inch-ounce quantifies how much rotational force is applied, considering both the magnitude of the force and its distance from the pivot point.

History of Pound-force-foot and Inch-ounce

The conversion from pound-force foot to inch-ounce has its roots in the diversity of measurement systems. Originating from the need to standardize torque calculations across various scales and applications, this conversion facilitates precision in engineering, construction, and various industries requiring accurate torque assessments.
