About Kilojoules
A kilojoule (kJ) is exactly 1,000 J and is the standard energy unit for food and physical chemistry. EU, Australian, and NZ food labels are mandatory in kJ: recommended adult intake is ~8,400 kJ/day. Bond dissociation energies: C-H bond 413 kJ/mol; C=C double bond 614 kJ/mol; N≡N triple bond 945 kJ/mol. Specific heat of water: 4.184 kJ/(kg·K). A cyclist riding at 150 W for one hour expends 540 kJ. Charpy and Izod impact toughness tests record results in J and kJ. 1 kJ = 1,000 J = 239.0 cal = 0.94782 BTU = 0.27778 Wh.
About Inch-Pound-Force
An inch-pound-force (in·lbf) is the work done by one pound-force through one inch - exactly 0.11298482902761670 J (= 1/12 ft·lbf). It is the dominant torque unit for small fasteners and precision instruments in the US: a #6-32 screw in aluminium is torqued to 4-6 in·lbf; a dental implant abutment screw to ~25-30 Ncm (2.2-2.7 in·lbf). Hobby servo motor torque is quoted in oz·in (1 in·lbf = 16 oz·in). Bicycle stem bolts are typically 4-6 Nm (35-53 in·lbf). 1 in·lbf = 0.11298 J = 1/12 ft·lbf = 11.298 Ncm.
