Convert gram-force centimeter to kilogram-force centimeter
Please provide values below to convert gram-force centimeter [gf*cm] to kilogram-force centimeter [kgf*cm], or Convert kilogram-force centimeter to gram-force centimeter.
1 gf*cm = 0.001 kgf*cm. To convert gram-force centimeter to kilogram-force centimeter, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf*cm = 1000 gf*cm). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 gf*cm = 0.001 kgf*cm
- 1 kgf*cm = 1000 gf*cm
- 10 gf*cm = 0.01 kgf*cm
- 100 gf*cm = 0.1 kgf*cm
How to Convert Gram-Force Centimeter to Kilogram-Force Centimeter
1 gf*cm = 0.001 kgf*cm
Example: convert 15 gf*cm to kgf*cm:
15 gf*cm = 15 × 0.001 kgf*cm = 0.015 kgf*cm

Gram-Force Centimeter
Gram-force centimeter (gf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force centimeter originated from the use of the gram-force as a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, the gram-force centimeter is rarely used, having been largely replaced by SI units such as the newton meter (N·m) for torque measurements, but it may still appear in specialized or legacy applications.
Kilogram-Force Centimeter
Kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force centimeter originated from the use of the kilogram-force as a unit of force in the metric system, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length, primarily used in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, kgf·cm is largely considered a non-SI unit and is used in certain engineering fields, such as torque measurement in automotive and mechanical applications, but is being gradually replaced by SI units like Newton-meter (Nm).
Frequently Asked Questions
