in-oz Inch-ounce is a measurment of torque expressed as a force (ounce) multiplied by (i.e. “times”) a distance (inch). It is the amount of force applied in the direction of turning by one ounce on a one inch lever. To convert Inch-ounce to Inch-pound multiply by 0.0625. To convert Inch-ounce to Foot-pound (ft-lb) multiply by 0.0052.
Strain A strain is a normalized measure of deformation representing the displacement between particles in the body relative to a reference length.
