I know nothing about how this works but if AE is calculated lb/in, can you not compress them 25.5mm to get a N/cm and then convert to lb/in. Or does it just give you the same rating as compressing 10mm.
I see where you are going with this...
The torque is a measure of force over a set compression distance (10mm).
I couldn't accurately compress 1" with this gauge.

AE quote a weight or force rating, not a torque.
