1. Convert to base units
N m = input value x input unit factor
Every supported torque unit is stored as a factor relative to newton meters.

Common conversions
Useful torque conversion factors
| Conversion | Factor | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| N m to lb ft | lb ft = N m x 0.737562149 | Fasteners and engines |
| lb ft to N m | N m = lb ft x 1.35581795 | Imperial to SI torque |
| N m to lb in | lb in = N m x 8.85074579 | Small fastener torque |
| lb in to N m | N m = lb in x 0.112984829 | Tool settings |
| kgf m to N m | N m = kgf m x 9.80665 | Legacy torque data |
| oz in to N m | N m = oz in x 0.00706155 | Small mechanisms |
How it works
Torque conversion method
2. Convert to target units
target value = base value / target unit factor
The selected result and table values are calculated from the same base value.
3. Check precision
rounding depends on scale
Very small and very large values use compact scientific notation to stay readable.
FAQ
Torque converter questions
How do you convert N m to lb ft?
Multiply newton meters by 0.737562149 to convert to pound-feet.
How do you convert lb ft to N m?
Multiply pound-feet by 1.355817948 to convert to newton meters.
Is torque the same as force?
No. Torque is a turning moment equal to force multiplied by perpendicular distance from the rotation axis.
