FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kgf·cm to ozf·in?
1 kgf·cm equals 13.88739 ozf·in. To convert, multiply the value in kilogram-force centimetres by 13.88739.
How do I convert 1 kgf·cm to ozf·in?
1 kgf·cm = 13.8874 ozf·in. For any value, multiply by 13.88739.
How do I convert ozf·in back to kgf·cm?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.07200779. So 1 ozf·in = 0.0720078 kgf·cm.
When would I need to convert kilogram-force centimetre to ounce-force inch?
Torque conversions between kgf·cm and ozf·in are needed in fastener specification, mechanical equipment design, drivetrain analysis and lifting/rigging calculations. Newton-metre (N·m) is the SI standard; lbf·ft and lbf·in dominate US fastener and machinery datasheets; kgf·m appears in legacy metric documentation. Display symbol is N·m — never the abbreviation "nm", which denotes nanometre.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
