Convert newton-metre, kilogram-force and pound-foot

Convert newton-metre, kilogram-force and pound-foot. Handy for students, analysts and engineers checking a calculation or conversion before using the result.

Convert newton-metre, kilogram-force and pound-foot. The answer appears right away in your browser and is ready to use, with no account, upload or stored data.

How to use

Enter a value followed by its unit, for example 50 nm, in the field provided for torque measurement.
Run the conversion to obtain the equivalent in the other torque units that the tool supports.
Read the result and identify the value that matches the unit used in your document, spreadsheet or calculation.
Erase the field if you need to convert another measurement, then repeat the process with the new value and unit.

Example

A mechanical engineering student needs to check a torque stated in newton-metres before comparing it with a document written in pound-feet. They enter 50 nm, run the conversion and look at the values produced to verify the calculation.

Input

50 nm

Output

50.0000 N.m
5.0986 kgf.m
36.8781 lbf.ft

Limits and formats

The conversion depends on how the value and unit are typed; a misspelled unit may prevent the calculation.
The tool converts between the listed units, but it does not check the physical consistency of the torque in your context.
For professional use, compare the result with your reference table or internal standard before approving a document.
Very large or very small numbers may be rounded in the display, so keep enough precision in your own calculations.

Where processing happens

Everything happens in your browser. The value and unit you enter do not leave your device and are not sent anywhere. The conversion is immediate, which makes it convenient for a quick check.

Frequently asked questions

Which torque units can I use?

The tool supports newton-metre, kilogram-force and pound-foot. Enter the value with the matching unit to receive conversions into the other supported units.

Can I convert a negative value?

If the field accepts a minus sign, the conversion applies to the numeric value. In a mechanical context, check the direction of the torque before interpreting a negative result.

Is the result rounded?

The display may round decimals to stay readable. For a critical calculation, note the value with enough digits and check the rounding against your own reference.
