Definitions and assumptions
Torque factors are expressed relative to newton metres. Pound-force and kilogram-force terms use their conventional force definitions. Torque is a rotational moment, not a substitute label for energy.
Frequently asked questions
Which Torque units are supported?
The directory lists 15 units, including symbols and availability. Choose any source unit to browse its target units.
how to convert lbf·ft to N·m?
The calculator converts the input to the category's reference unit, then divides by the target unit's factor. 1 × 1.35581794833 ≈ 1.35581795 Newton metres. Use the source and target factors shown in the formula. The worked example uses the value on this page, and the table provides other common values.
Is a newton metre always the same as a joule?
They have the same dimensions, but describe different quantities. This tool converts torque units; interpreting mechanical work also requires the rotation angle.
Why is the displayed result rounded?
Auto mode preserves significant digits for small values; manual mode rounds to the selected decimal places. ≈ means approximate; < means below the display limit. Extreme values use × 10ⁿ. Calculations are rounded only for display.
What input range can I use?
This calculator accepts non-negative values up to 1 trillion, with up to 8 decimal places. It does not calculate signed vectors or calendar date intervals.
Why is a unit unavailable?
A conversion is unavailable when a verified unit definition or a current exchange-rate value has not been configured. The tool does not invent a coefficient.
