Torque Conversion Calculator
Convert between Newton Meters (NM) and Foot Pounds (FT-LBS)
Torque Conversion Formulas
1 NM = 0.737562 FT-LB
1 FT-LB = 1.35582 NM
These standard conversions help in precise torque measurements.
Common Torque Conversions:
- Convert NM to FT-LBS: Multiply NM by 0.737562
- Convert FT-LBS to NM: Multiply FT-LBS by 1.35582
- 1 foot pound to NM = 1.35582 NM
- 10 NM to FT-LBS = 7.37562 FT-LBS
- 20 NM to FT-LBS = 14.7512 FT-LBS
Why Torque Conversion Matters:
Automotive Work
Proper torque specs are critical for engine components and safety-related fasteners.
International Standards
Convert between metric (NM) and imperial (FT-LB) torque specifications.
