Torque Converter

A torque converter is a tool that translates rotational force measurements (torque) between units like Newton-meters, Pound-feet, and Pound-inches.

The SI unit of torque is the Newton-meter (N·m), which represents the torque resulting from a force of one Newton applied perpendicularly to a moment arm of one meter.

To convert N·m to lb·ft, multiply the N·m value by 0.737562, or divide by 1.35582.

While often used interchangeably in casual contexts, 'pound-foot' (lb·ft) is the correct term for torque to distinguish it from the unit of energy 'foot-pound' (ft·lb).

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, one Pound-foot is equal to exactly 12 Pound-inches.
