FAQ

What is the conversion factor from mN·m to gf·cm?
1 mN·m equals 10.19716 gf·cm. To convert, multiply the value in millinewton-metres by 10.19716.
How do I convert 1 mN·m to gf·cm?
1 mN·m = 10.1972 gf·cm. For any value, multiply by 10.19716.
How do I convert gf·cm back to mN·m?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0980665. So 1 gf·cm = 0.0980665 mN·m.
When would I need to convert millinewton-metre to gram-force centimetre?
Torque conversions between mN·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).
