Convert gram-force meter to kilogram-force centimeter
Please provide values below to convert gram-force meter [gf*m] to kilogram-force centimeter [kgf*cm], or Convert kilogram-force centimeter to gram-force meter.
1 gf*m = 0.1 kgf*cm. To convert gram-force meter to kilogram-force centimeter, multiply the value by 0.1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kgf*cm = 10 gf*m). 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*m = 0.1 kgf*cm
- 1 kgf*cm = 10 gf*m
- 10 gf*m = 1 kgf*cm
- 100 gf*m = 10 kgf*cm
How to Convert Gram-Force Meter to Kilogram-Force Centimeter
1 gf*m = 0.1 kgf*cm
Example: convert 15 gf*m to kgf*cm:
15 gf*m = 15 × 0.1 kgf*cm = 1.5 kgf*cm

Gram-Force Meter
A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one gram-force applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The gram-force meter 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 meter is rarely used; it is mainly of historical interest or in specific niche applications where CGS units are still referenced, but most torque measurements are expressed in SI units such as newton-meters.
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
What is 1 gram-force meter in kilogram-force centimeter?
1 gram-force meter (gf*m) = 0.1 kilogram-force centimeter (kgf*cm).
How do you convert gram-force meter to kilogram-force centimeter?
Multiply the gram-force meter value by 0.1. For example, 25 gf*m × 0.1 = 2.5 kgf*cm.
