Convert newton-metres, kilonewton-metres, kilogram-force metres and pound-force feet and inches, as used on bolt tables and shaft data.

Results are estimates. They do not replace the governing code, class or flag requirements, or a check by a competent person. Report a problem

Worked example

250 N·m = 184.391 lbf·ft, because 1 N·m = 0.737562 lbf·ft.
