  • Foot-pound (ft-lb) — Imperial torque unit.
  • Inch-pound (in-lb) — Smaller imperial torque unit.
  • kgf.cm — Kilogram-force centimeter.

How Does Torque Converter Work?

1 Nm = 0.7376 ft-lb = 8.851 in-lb, 1 ft-lb = 12 in-lb = 1.3558 Nm.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter a numeric value — Type the measurement you want to convert.
  2. Select the source unit — Choose the unit you are converting from.
