Convert moment units including newton-meters, kilonewton-meters, pound-feet, pound-inches, kip-feet, kip-inches, kilogram-force meters, and more.
Newton-meters to pound-feet:
1 N·m = 0.737562 lb-ft
Pound-feet to newton-meters:
1 lb-ft = 1.3558179483 N·m
Kilonewton-meters to kip-feet:
1 kN·m = 0.737562 kip-ft
Kip-feet to kilonewton-meters:
1 kip-ft = 1.3558179483 kN·m
Moment conversions are useful for beam calculations, structural reactions, torque-style mechanics, support loads, bending moments, levers, frames, machine components, and engineering design checks.
Use this converter when comparing metric and U.S. customary moment units.
Your result shows the entered 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 structural and mechanical work, make sure the moment unit matches the equations, load tables, drawings, or design references you are using.
A moment is the turning effect caused by a force acting at a distance from a point or axis.
Moment and torque use similar force-distance units, but moment is often used in structural and statics problems while torque is often used for rotating mechanical systems.
The common SI unit of moment is the newton-meter, abbreviated as N·m.
A kip-foot is a moment unit equal to 1,000 pound-feet.
This converter is designed for moment magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
