Unit Information

Newton-meter (N·m)

The newton-meter is the SI unit of torque, defined as the torque resulting from a force of one newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm of one meter length.

1 N·m = 0.7376 lbf·ft1 N·m = 0.001 kN·m1 N·m = 0.102 kgf·m

Pound-foot (lbf·ft)

The pound-foot (or foot-pound) is a unit of torque in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as the torque resulting from a force of one pound applied perpendicularly to a moment arm of one foot.

1 lbf·ft = 1.356 N·m1 lbf·ft = 0.001356 kN·m1 lbf·ft = 0.138 kgf·m
