Torque unit converter

Convert a torque value between N·m, lbf·ft, lbf·in and kgf·m at once.

How it is calculated

Everything is converted to N·m first: 1 lbf·ft = 1.3558179483 N·m; 1 lbf·in = 0.1129848290 N·m; 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m.

Worked example

10 N·m ÷ 1.3558 = 7.3756 lbf·ft.

Steps

  1. Enter the value.
  2. Pick the unit it is in.
  3. Read the four conversions.

Frequently asked questions

How many lbf·ft is 1 N·m?

About 0.7376 lbf·ft.

Is lbf·in the same as in-lb?

Yes, they are the same unit.

Do I need to round?

Round to the precision your torque spec uses.
