What are kilogram-force-meters and pound-inches?
A kilogram-force-meter is the torque of one kilogram-force at one meter, 9.807 N·m. A pound-inch is 1/12 of a pound-foot, used for small fasteners and electronics. For reference: car lug nuts are often torqued to around 120 N·m (about 89 lb·ft).
How to convert kilogram-force-meters to pound-inches
1 kgf·m = 86.7962 lb·in. To convert, multiply the number of kilogram-force-meters by 86.7962. For example, 5 kgf·m = 433.981 lb·in, and 20 kgf·m = 1,735.92 lb·in. To go the other way, multiply pound-inches by 0.0115212 (since 1 lb·in = 0.0115212 kgf·m).
