Convert bending moment units including newton-meters, kilonewton-meters, pound-feet, pound-inches, kip-feet, kip-inches, kilogram-force meters, and more.
Kilonewton-meters to pound-feet:
1 kN·m = 737.562 lb·ft
Pound-feet to newton-meters:
1 lb·ft = 1.35582 N·m
Kip-feet to kilonewton-meters:
1 kip·ft = 1.35582 kN·m
Pound-inches to pound-feet:
12 lb·in = 1 lb·ft
Bending moment conversions are useful for beam design, shear and moment diagrams, joist and rafter checks, steel sections, wood beams, concrete members, brackets, frames, crane loads, and structural calculations.
Use this converter when comparing SI, U.S. customary, and structural bending moment units.
Your result shows the entered bending moment converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The calculator also shows the conversion rate used so you can verify the calculation.
For engineering and structural design, make sure the moment unit matches your beam equation, load table, design code, section property table, or structural calculation.
Bending moment is the turning effect created by a force acting at a distance from a point or section.
The common SI unit of bending moment is the newton-meter, abbreviated as N·m. Kilonewton-meter is also common for structural work.
Yes. Bending moment and torque use the same unit dimensions, but bending moment is usually used for beams while torque is used for twisting.
One kilonewton-meter equals approximately 737.562 pound-feet.
This converter is designed for bending moment magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
