Torque Converter – Convert N·m, lb·ft & kgf·m

This torque unit converter routes every input through exact definitions — 1 lb·ft = 1.3558179 N·m exactly. Enter a value, pick the source and target units, and the result appears instantly with the factor applied shown beside it. Newton-meters state torque in SI while pound-feet serve American wrenches and engine charts — a force times a lever arm, quoted in two dialects. The bridge is exact: 1 lb·ft = 1.3558179483 N·m, so tightening-spec conversions never add error, only display rounding. A mini table of the head factor makes spot-checks immediate: 1 lb·ft = 1.3558 N·m; 5 lb·ft = 6.7791 N·m; 10 lb·ft = 13.5582 N·m; 50 lb·ft = 67.7909 N·m; 100 lb·ft = 135.5818 N·m. Anchors: a typical wheel bolt asks 110 N·m (81 lb·ft), a compact car engine peaks near 200 N·m (148 lb·ft), and hand-tightening a 30 cm wrench delivers roughly 60 N·m at full push.

   Step 4

   Read the exact result, then swap or copy as needed

• 1

  1 lb·ft = 1.3558 N·m; 100 N·m ≈ 73.8 lb·ft

• 2

  Small fasteners: divide lb·in by 8.85 for N·m

• 3

  Wrench scale: convert once, tape the chart to the box

• 4

  Engine charts: peak torque in N·m ÷ 1.3558 gives lb·ft

• Reading lb·in values as lb·ft — a factor of 12 error on small fasteners

• Converting only the force (4.448) and forgetting the 0.3048 m lever

• Quoting kgf·m as if N·m — multiply by 9.80665 first
