Overview
Torque (moment of force) measures rotational push. Basic Mode: N·m, lbf·ft, kgf·m, lbf·in, pdl·ft. Advanced Mode: also kgf·cm, dyn·cm, ozf·in, kgf·mm, etc.
Formula & Methodology
Convert “Unit A” → SI (N·m) → “Unit B”. Each unit has a factor to multiply to get newton-metres.
| Unit | Symbol | Factor → N·m | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newton-metre | N·m | 1 | SI unit |
| Pound-force-foot | lbf·ft | 1.3558179 | 1 lbf·ft = 1.3558179 N·m |
| Kilogram-force-metre | kgf·m | 9.80665 | 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m |
| Pound-force-inch | lbf·in | 0.1129848 | 1 lbf·in = 0.1129848 N·m |
| Poundal-foot | pdl·ft | 0.0421401 | 1 pdl·ft = 0.0421401 N·m |
| Kilogram-force-centimetre | kgf·cm | 0.0980665 | 1 kgf·cm = 0.0980665 N·m |
| Dyne-centimetre | dyn·cm | 1×10⁻⁷ | 1 dyn·cm = 10⁻⁷ N·m |
| Ounce-force-inch | ozf·in | 0.00706155 | 1 ozf·in = 0.00706155 N·m |
| Kilogram-force-millimetre | kgf·mm | 0.00980665 | 1 kgf·mm = 0.00980665 N·m |
Examples
- 5 lbf·ft → N·m: 5 × 1.3558179 ≈ 6.7791 N·m
- 20 N·m → lbf·in: 20 ÷ 0.1129848 ≈ 177.14 lbf·in
- 50 kgf·m → lbf·ft: 50 × 9.80665 ÷ 1.3558179 ≈ 361.70 lbf·ft
Frequently Asked Questions
What is torque?
Torque is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, measured in N·m in SI.
How do I convert lbf·ft to N·m?
Multiply lbf·ft by 1.3558179 to get N·m.
Why use N·m as base?
It’s the SI unit for torque, ensuring consistency across conversions.
