Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert newton-meters to foot-pounds?
Divide newton-meters by 1.356 (or multiply by 0.7376). For example, 100 N·m = 73.76 lb·ft. This is commonly used for engine torque specifications.
What's the difference between torque and power?
Torque is rotational force (N·m), while power is the rate of doing work (watts). They're related: Power (W) = Torque (N·m) × Angular velocity (rad/s).
How many inch-pounds in a foot-pound?
1 foot-pound = 12 inch-pounds. Inch-pounds are used for smaller fasteners, while foot-pounds are for larger bolts and engine specs.
What torque should I use for my car's lug nuts?
Most cars require 80-100 lb·ft (108-136 N·m) for lug nuts, but always check your owner's manual for the exact specification.
How do I convert kgf·m to N·m?
Multiply kgf·m by 9.807. For example, 10 kgf·m = 98.07 N·m. This conversion accounts for the acceleration due to gravity.
