Torque Converter
Convert between newton-meters (Nm), foot-pounds (ft-lb), inch-pounds (in-lb) and kilogram-force meters. Essential for automotive and mechanical work — 1 Nm ≈ 0.7376 ft-lb.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Nm to ft-lb?
Multiply newton-meters by 0.7376. For example, 100 Nm ≈ 73.76 ft-lb. To go the other way, multiply ft-lb by 1.3558.
Is ft-lb the same as lb-ft?
For torque, yes — foot-pounds and pound-feet are used interchangeably for the same unit of torque (though ft-lb can also mean energy in other contexts).
