How to Convert Kilogram-force Centimeter to Ounce-inch
- 1 kgf·cm = 13.88738659 ozf·in
- 1 ozf·in = 0.07200778874 kgf·cm
- Example: convert 15 kgf·cm to ozf·in: 15 kgf·cm = 15 × 13.88738659 ozf·in = 208.3107989 ozf·in
Formula
ozf·in = kgf·cm × 13.88738659432
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kgf·cm = 9.80665 N × 0.01 m = 0.0980665 N·m (exact)
- 1 ozf·in = 1/16 lbf·in = 0.00706155181 N·m
- 1 kgf·cm = 0.0980665 N·m ÷ 0.007061551814226 N·m per ozf·in = 13.88738659432 ozf·in
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram-force Centimeter definition: kilogram-force centimeter; Ounce-inch definition: ounce-inch.
Worked examples
- A reading of 10 kgf·cm converts to 138.8738659 ozf·in.
10 kgf·cm × 13.88738659 = 138.8738659 ozf·in - A value of 25 kgf·cm is 347.1846649 ozf·in.
25 kgf·cm × 13.88738659 = 347.1846649 ozf·in
