About torque units
Torque (moment of force) is force multiplied by its perpendicular distance from a pivot. It shares dimensions with energy, but the two are different quantities, so this converter never mixes them. Bolt-tightening specs are given in N·m or lbf·ft; small fasteners in lbf·in.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SI unit of torque?
This converter uses the newton meter (N⋅m) as its reference unit; every other unit is defined relative to it.
How many torque units can I convert?
12 units are supported here, across SI, US customary, Other, CGS systems. Every pair can be converted in both directions.
Does this torque converter work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, every calculation runs locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
