Formula

Formula
gf·cm = kgf·m × 100000

Multiply any value in kilograms-force metre by 100000 to obtain the value in gram-force centimetres.

Worked example

Convert 1 kgf·m to gf·cm.

  1. 01Start with 1 kgf·m.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 100000 = 100000 gf·cm.
Result1 kgf·m = 100000 gf·cm

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf·m to gf·cm?
1 kgf·m equals 100000 gf·cm. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force metre by 100000.
How do I convert 1 kgf·m to gf·cm?
1 kgf·m = 100000 gf·cm. For any value, multiply by 100000.
How do I convert gf·cm back to kgf·m?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-5. So 1 gf·cm = 1e-5 kgf·m.
When would I need to convert kilogram-force metre to gram-force centimetre?
Torque conversions between kgf·m and gf·cm 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).
