Torque Converter

Convert torque accurately between newton-meters, kilonewton-meters, newton-centimeters, kilogram-force meters, pound-force feet and pound-force inches.

Example: a torque of 250 newton-meters. How many pound-force feet is that?
Result 184.390537 lbf·ft 250 N·m = 184.390537 lbf·ft
One-unit equivalent 1 N·m = 0.737562 lbf·ft A quick way to understand the relationship between the two units.

✓ Conversion factors match data and definitions from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

How is the conversion calculated? The value is converted to newton-meters first, then to the requested torque unit using precise conversion relationships.

This calculation runs in your browser. Your values are not sent to our server.

How it works

  1. Enter the torque value, then choose the current unit and the unit you want to convert to.
  2. Example: 250 newton-meters is approximately 184.390537 pound-force feet.
  3. Use the swap button to reverse the units without re-entering the value.
  4. The converter uses the newton-meter as its internal reference and keeps force units separate from torque units.
  5. Whole numbers, decimals and signed values are supported, with display rounding only when needed while internal precision is preserved.
