Force gauge
Test units of force measurements are most commonly newtons or pounds. The peak force is the most common result in force testing applications. It is used to determine if a part is good or not. Some examples of force measurement: door latch, quality of spring, wire testing, strength ... but more complicated tests can be performed like peeling, friction, texture.
Torque
Torque has dimension force times distance, symbolically . Official SI literature suggests using the unit "newton metre" (N⋅m) or the unit "joule per radian". The unit "newton metre" is properly denoted N⋅m or N m. This avoids ambiguity with mN, millinewtons.
