Convert gram-force meter to kilojoule
Please provide values below to convert gram-force meter [gf*m] to kilojoule [kJ], or Convert kilojoule to gram-force meter.
1 gf*m = 9.80665e-06 kJ. To convert gram-force meter to kilojoule, multiply the value by 9.80665e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kJ = 101971.621298 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 = 9.80665e-06 kJ
- 1 kJ = 101971.621298 gf*m
- 10 gf*m = 9.80665e-05 kJ
- 100 gf*m = 0.000980665 kJ
How to Convert Gram-Force Meter to Kilojoule
1 gf*m = 9.80665e-06 kJ

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.
Kilojoule
A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules, used to quantify energy transfer or work done.
History/Origin
The kilojoule was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a convenient scale for measuring energy, especially in fields like nutrition and physics, replacing the joule for larger quantities.
Current Use
The kilojoule is widely used in nutrition to express food energy content, in physics and engineering to measure energy transfer, and in various scientific and industrial applications within the 'Energy' converter category.
