Convert torque units including foot-pounds, inch-pounds, pound-feet, newton-meters, kilogram-force meters, ounce-inches, and other torque measurements for mechanical, construction, automotive, and engineering work.
Foot-pounds to inch-pounds:
1 ft-lb = 12 in-lb
Foot-pounds to newton-meters:
1 ft-lb = 1.35582 N·m
Newton-meters to foot-pounds:
1 N·m = 0.737562 ft-lb
Inch-pounds to foot-pounds:
1 in-lb = 0.0833333 ft-lb
Torque conversions are useful for fasteners, anchor bolts, structural bolts, machinery, engines, equipment installation, torque wrenches, pipe flanges, mechanical connections, and maintenance work.
Use this converter when switching between imperial torque units, metric torque units, small fastener torque, and heavy-duty torque references.
Your result shows the entered torque converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The converter also shows common references such as foot-pounds, inch-pounds, newton-meters, and kilogram-force meters.
This converter changes torque units only. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications, project plans, material requirements, lubrication conditions, and fastener requirements for actual tightening work.
Multiply foot-pounds by 1.35582. For example, 100 ft-lb equals about 135.582 N·m.
There are 12 inch-pounds in 1 foot-pound.
Multiply newton-meters by 0.737562. For example, 100 N·m equals about 73.7562 ft-lb.
No. Force is a push or pull. Torque is twisting force created by force applied at a distance from a rotation point.
For torque, ft-lb and lb-ft are commonly used to describe the same torque relationship, though lb-ft is often preferred to avoid confusion with energy.
