Convert bending moment and structural moment units including pound-feet, pound-inches, kip-feet, kip-inches, ton-feet, newton-meters, kilonewton-meters, and newton-millimeters.
Kip-feet to pound-feet:
1 kip-ft = 1,000 lb-ft
Pound-feet to pound-inches:
1 lb-ft = 12 lb-in
Pound-feet to newton-meters:
1 lb-ft = 1.35582 N·m
Kilonewton-meters to pound-feet:
1 kN·m = 737.562 lb-ft
Moment conversions are useful for beam design, bending moment diagrams, joists, rafters, headers, columns, base plates, footings, connections, retaining walls, structural steel, reinforced concrete, and engineering notes.
Use this converter when switching between imperial structural moment units, metric moment units, bending moment values, and force-distance measurements.
Your result shows the entered bending moment or force moment converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The converter also shows common references such as pound-feet, pound-inches, kip-feet, newton-meters, and kilonewton-meters.
This converter changes moment units only. Structural design depends on span, support conditions, load combinations, material strength, section modulus, deflection limits, connection details, and code requirements.
A moment is force multiplied by distance from a point. In structural work, bending moment helps describe how a beam or member bends under load.
Multiply kip-feet by 1,000. For example, 5 kip-ft equals 5,000 lb-ft.
Multiply pound-feet by 1.35582. For example, 100 lb-ft equals about 135.582 N·m.
They use the same force-distance units, but torque usually describes twisting, while bending moment usually describes structural bending.
No. This converter only changes moment units. To calculate bending moment, you need the load, span, supports, and loading condition.
