What is Torque Converter?

Torque is a measure of rotational force. It is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis.

Understanding the Units

Newton-meter (Nm)

SI unit of torque.

Common Uses: Engineering, automotive specs worldwide

Pound-foot (lb-ft)

Imperial unit of torque.

Common Uses: Automotive in US, tool specifications

Conversion: 1 lb-ft = 1.356 Nm

Pound-inch (lb-in)

Smaller imperial torque unit.

Common Uses: Small fasteners, precision work

Conversion: 1 lb-in = 0.113 Nm

Common Conversions

Wheel lug nut: 100 Nm = 74 lb-ft
Bicycle pedal: 40 Nm = 29.5 lb-ft
Family car engine peak torque: 200–300 Nm = 148–221 lb-ft
Large diesel truck engine: 2,000+ Nm = 1,475+ lb-ft

Conversion Formulas

Torque = Force × Distance (τ = F × r)
Newton-meters to pound-feet: lb-ft = Nm ÷ 1.356
Pound-feet to Newton-meters: Nm = lb-ft × 1.356
Pound-feet to pound-inches: lb-in = lb-ft × 12
Pound-inches to Newton-meters: Nm = lb-in × 0.1130

Practical Examples

Tightening a bottle cap: ~2 Nm = 1.5 lb-ft

Spark plug: 25–30 Nm = 18–22 lb-ft torque spec

Wheel lug nuts: 100–130 Nm = 74–96 lb-ft (varies by vehicle)

High-performance sports car: 400+ Nm = 295+ lb-ft peak torque

When to Use Each Unit

Newton-meters (Nm): International specifications, scientific and engineering work

Pound-feet (lb-ft): US automotive and mechanical tool specifications

Pound-inches (lb-in): Small fasteners, precision instruments, electronics assembly
