How the Newton-meters to Foot-pounds Converter works
Torque wrenches and car manuals use newton-metres or pound-feet. One pound-foot is the torque of one pound-force at one foot: 1.35582 N·m.
To convert newton-meters to foot-pounds, multiply by 0.7375621493. The calculator shows the result to 6 significant figures; the conversion factor itself is exact (1 lbf·ft = 1.3558179483 N·m, from the definitions of the pound and g₀).
Quick estimate in your head: multiply by 0.74.
The formula
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| Value in newton-meters (N·m) | 100 |
|---|
- 100 N·m × 0.7375621493 = 73.7562 lb·ft.
Result:
| Foot-pounds (lb·ft) | 73.7562 |
|---|---|
| 1 N·m in lb·ft | 0.737562 |
| Your number read as lb·ft, in N·m | 135.582 |
| Inch-pounds (lb·in) | 885.075 |
| Kilogram-force metres (kgf·m) | 10.1972 |
