How to Convert Kilogram-force Meter to Ounce-inch
- 1 kgf·m = 1388.738659 ozf·in
- 1 ozf·in = 0.0007200778874 kgf·m
- Example: convert 15 kgf·m to ozf·in: 15 kgf·m = 15 × 1388.738659 ozf·in = 20831.07989 ozf·in
Formula
ozf·in = kgf·m × 1388.738659432
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N × 1 m = 9.80665 N·m (exact)
- 1 ozf·in = 1/16 lbf·in = 0.00706155181 N·m
- 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m ÷ 0.007061551814226 N·m per ozf·in = 1388.738659432 ozf·in
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram-force Meter definition: kilogram-force meter; Ounce-inch definition: ounce-inch.
Worked examples
- A reading of 10 kgf·m converts to 13887.38659 ozf·in.
10 kgf·m × 1388.738659 = 13887.38659 ozf·in - A value of 30 kgf·m is 41662.15978 ozf·in.
30 kgf·m × 1388.738659 = 41662.15978 ozf·in
