N·m to ft-lb converter

Convert newton-metres to foot-pounds (pound-force feet) and inch-pounds for bolt torques, engine torque and wrench settings.

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

Formula

lbf·ft = N·m × 0.737562
N·m = lbf·ft × 1.35582

Worked example: 100 N·m × 0.737562 = 73.7562 lbf·ft.

FAQ

How do I convert N·m to lbf·ft?
Multiply by 0.737562. To go back, multiply by 1.35582.

Is ft-lb the same as lb-ft?
For torque they mean the same quantity, pound-force times feet. Engineers often write lbf·ft for torque to keep ft·lbf for energy, but tools and car manuals use both.

How do I convert ft-lb back to N·m?
Multiply by 1.35582. A wheel nut torque of 100 lbf·ft is 135.6 N·m.

Where can I convert other torque units?
The torque unit converter converts between every unit of torque on the site.
