Convert Grain to Kilogram-force square second per meter

The grain traces its origins to ancient times and was originally based on the weight of a single grain of cereal, such as barley or wheat, which was used as a reference for small weight measurements. The term "grain" comes from the Latin "granum", meaning "grain" or "seed." The grain was used as a standard measure in ancient civilizations, including the Romans, and its use continued throughout medieval Europe. Over time, it was standardized in the 14th century as part of the Avoirdupois system and has remained in use for very precise measurements in modern times, especially in scientific fields, medicine, and the firearm industry.

This unit originates from engineering contexts where the gravitational metric unit kilogram-force (kgf) was commonly used before the adoption of the SI system. It was part of older metric-based systems in Europe and engineering fields, gradually replaced by the SI unit newton (N) for consistency.
