What is a Torque Converter?

A torque converter is a tool that converts between different units of torque (rotational force) such as newton-meters, pound-feet, and kilogram-force meters. It is essential for automotive engineering, mechanical design, and fastener specifications.

How to Convert Torque Units

Select the unit you want to convert from and the unit you want to convert to using the dropdown menus. Enter your value in the input field and the converter will instantly calculate the equivalent value in your target unit.

Torque Conversion Formulas

1 newton-meter (N·m) = 0.7376 pound-foot (lb·ft) 1 pound-foot (lb·ft) = 1.3558 newton-meter (N·m) 1 kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) = 9.80665 newton-meter (N·m) 1 newton-meter (N·m) = 10,000,000 dyne-centimeter (dyn·cm)

History of Torque Measurement

Torque measurement became standardized with the development of the metric system in the 18th century. The newton-meter was adopted as the SI unit of torque, while pound-foot remains common in the United States for automotive and construction applications.

About This Torque Converter

This torque converter supports 14 units including newton-meter, kilonewton-meter, pound-force foot, pound-force inch, kilogram-force meter, ounce-force inch, dyne centimeter, and gram-force variants. It handles both SI and imperial torque units.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert newton-meters to pound-feet?

Multiply the newton-meter value by 0.7376 to get pound-feet. For example, 100 N·m = 100 × 0.7376 = 73.76 lb·ft.

What is the difference between torque and force?

Force is a push or pull in a straight line, measured in newtons. Torque is a rotational force (force applied at a distance from a pivot point), measured in newton-meters. Torque = Force × Distance from pivot.

What unit is torque measured in?

The SI unit of torque is the newton-meter (N·m). In the US, pound-foot (lb·ft) is commonly used. Other units include kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) and dyne-centimeter.

Why are torque specs important for cars?

Torque specifications ensure bolts are tightened to the correct force, preventing both under-tightening (which can cause loosening) and over-tightening (which can strip threads or crack components).

Is pound-foot the same as foot-pound?

In common usage they are often used interchangeably for torque. Technically, pound-foot (lb·ft) is the correct term for torque, while foot-pound (ft·lb) is a unit of energy/work. However, many torque wrenches and manuals use ft·lb for torque.
