Nm to lb-ft Torque Calculator
Convert Newton-meters (Nm) to pound-feet (lb-ft) and vice versa. Essential tool for automotive, engineering, and mechanical applications.
Step 1: Input Values
Understanding Torque Conversion
Torque is a measure of rotational force. Newton-meters (Nm) is the metric unit, while pound-feet (lb-ft) is the imperial unit. The conversion factor is 1 Nm = 0.737562 lb-ft.
Step 2: Application Settings
Torque in Different Applications
Torque specifications vary by application. Automotive lug nuts typically require 80-150 lb-ft, while bicycle components need 4-15 Nm. Always refer to manufacturer specifications for critical applications.
