Is any one familiar with a measurement term "ounce inches", typically used to moment weight engine compressor blades. If so, does it readily convert, mathematically to any other weight measure, such as grams?

In this context, it should be referring to the imbalance torque and should correspond to the moment difference across the axis of symmetry. Since it's not a weight, it cannot be converted to a weight, although you can certainly convert to SI units as indicated above.

Oz-in is a method to indicate the amount of out-of-balance. It is equivalent to a mass at a given radius. To convert it to a force, multiply by the RPM squared (use radians / sec, not RPM). That gives the units oz-in/sec^2. This can be converted to other units as required.
