About torque conversions

Enter a value and choose the units to convert between. Each torque unit is defined against a single base unit, so any pair lines up consistently, the table shows your value in every torque unit at once.

What this does

A torque converter changes a twisting force between newton-meters, kilonewton-meters, pound-feet, pound-inches, and kilogram-force meters.

How to use it

  1. Enter a value and pick its unit.
  2. Choose the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the converted result instantly.
  4. Swap the units to reverse the conversion.

How it works

Each value is converted to newton-meters first and then to the target unit. For torque, pound-foot and foot-pound are used interchangeably, though foot-pound also names an energy unit of the same size.

N·m = lb·ft × 1.35582

Example

One pound-foot is about 1.356 newton-meters, so 100 lb·ft is about 135.6 N·m.

Frequently asked questions

How many newton-meters are in a pound-foot?

One pound-foot is about 1.3558 newton-meters, so newton-meters are always the larger number.

Is pound-foot the same as foot-pound?

For torque the terms are used interchangeably. The energy unit foot-pound has the same magnitude but a different physical meaning.
