Torque Unit Converter
Enter a torque value and select the units to convert between Newton-meters (Nm), foot-pounds (ft-lb) and inch-pounds (in-lb).
Torque Unit Converter
Convert torque values between Newton-meters, foot-pounds and inch-pounds.
This is a straightforward unit conversion using standard conversion factors; always double-check critical torque specifications (e.g. for safety-critical fasteners) against the manufacturer’s documentation.
Torque specifications — such as those for wrenches, engine bolts, or fasteners — are given in different units depending on region and tool, so converting accurately between Newton-meters, foot-pounds and inch-pounds is important for correct assembly.
Example
- With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Converted Value ≈ 73.7561.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the conversion between Nm and ft-lb?
1 foot-pound equals approximately 1.35582 Newton-meters, so to convert Nm to ft-lb, divide by 1.35582.
When would I use inch-pounds instead of foot-pounds?
Inch-pounds are typically used for smaller fasteners that require less torque, such as small bolts and screws, while foot-pounds are used for larger fasteners like lug nuts and engine bolts.
