Enter a torque in any one unit and see the same torque converted into N·m, lbf·ft, lbf·in, kgf·m and ozf·in.
Every result is converted through newton metres, the SI unit of torque: the entered value is multiplied by its unit factor to get newton metres, then divided by each target factor. One pound-foot is about 1.35582 N·m, and one kilogram-force metre is exactly 9.80665 N·m by definition of standard gravity. Torque and energy share dimensions but are different quantities, so these conversions apply to torque (a twisting force) rather than to work or energy.
How many newton metres are in a pound-foot? One pound-foot (lbf·ft) equals about 1.35582 newton metres. To convert the other way, one newton metre is about 0.73756 lbf·ft.
Is a pound-foot the same as a foot-pound? In everyday workshop use the two terms are used interchangeably for torque and give the same value here. Strictly, foot-pound is also used as a unit of energy, which is a different quantity from torque.
