What is a inch-pound?
An inch-pound is one twelfth of a foot-pound, about 0.113 Nm. Small fasteners, electronics and aviation hardware are specified in inch-pounds because foot-pound figures would be inconveniently small.
What is a kilogram-force meter?
A kilogram-force meter is 9.80665 Nm. Japanese and older European service manuals quote torque this way, often written kg-m.
