About Kilogram square decimetres
The kilogram square decimetre (kg·dm²) equals 10⁻² kg·m², occasionally used in SI-metric flywheel and rotor analysis when the decimetre is a convenient length scale. Lathe chuck jaws, grinding wheel flanges, and small centrifuges fall in the 0.1-10 kg·dm² range. 1 kg·dm² = 10⁻² kg·m² = 100 kg·cm² = 10 g·m².
About Ounce square inches
The ounce square inch (oz·in²) equals ≈1.829 × 10⁻⁵ kg·m², used in US precision instrument engineering for light rotating components. Pre-metric American gyroscope gimbal assemblies and US MIL-SPEC instrument servo actuators cited inertia in oz·in²; NACA gyroscope test reports use oz·in² for small rotating elements. 1 oz·in² ≈1.829 × 10⁻⁵ kg·m² = 16 oz·in² per lb·in².
