About the units
Newton meter (N⋅m)
The SI unit of torque: one newton acting at a one-metre lever arm. Car wheel nuts are typically torqued to 100–140 N·m.
Pound-force foot (lbf⋅ft)
About 1.3558 N·m. US torque wrenches and engine torque figures use pound-feet (often written ft-lb). One pound-force foot equals 1.355817948 newton meters (N⋅m).
Frequently asked questions
How many pound-feet are in one newton meter?
There are 0.7375621493 pound-feet in one newton meter, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert newton meters to pound-feet?
