How to Calculate Torque Unit Converter

What is Torque Unit Converter?

Torque is a rotational force. The SI unit is Newton-metres (Nm); the imperial unit is pound-feet (lb·ft). Engine torque, bolt tightening specs, and bicycle settings use torque units.

Formula

1 N⋅m = 0.738 lb-ft | 1 lb-ft = 1.356 N⋅m | Applied force × perpendicular distance from pivot

Step-by-Step Guide

11 Nm = 0.7376 lb·ft
21 lb·ft = 1.3558 Nm
31 kg·m = 9.807 Nm
4Torque = Force (N) × perpendicular distance (m)

Worked Examples

Input

150 Nm engine torque

Result

150 × 0.7376 = 110.6 lb·ft; 150 / 9.807 = 15.3 kg·m
