About Kilogram-force metres

The kilogram-force metre (kgf·m) equals exactly 9.80665 N·m, used in pre-SI European and legacy Asian engineering. Soviet/Russian GOST standards, early JIS turbine and compressor specifications, and older DIN automotive standards listed torque in kgf·m. A car wheel bolt at 10 kgf·m ≈ 98.1 N·m. 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m = 100 kgf·cm ≈ 7.233 lbf·ft ≈ 86.80 lbf·in.

About Pound-force feet

The pound-force foot (lbf·ft) equals ≈ 1.35582 N·m, the dominant torque unit in North American automotive and mechanical engineering. SAE engine performance tests, US vehicle lug-nut torque specs (80-100 lbf·ft), and American industrial gearbox catalogs all use lbf·ft. V8 truck engines produce 400-600 lbf·ft; diesel pickups exceed 900 lbf·ft. 1 lbf·ft ≈ 1.35582 N·m = 12 lbf·in ≈ 192 ozf·in.
