Newton-Meters to Foot-Pounds Converter

This tool allows you to convert torque measurements from Newton-Meters (Nm) to Foot-Pounds (ft-lb), helping engineers, mechanics, and technicians work with different systems of measurement with ease.

Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are based on the standard conversion factor: 1 Nm = 0.737562 ft-lb. For more information, refer to the official data source.

The Formula Explained

The formula used for the conversion is:

ft-lb = Nm × 0.737562

Glossary of Variables

Nm: Newton-Meters, a unit of torque in the metric system.
ft-lb: Foot-Pounds, a unit of torque in the imperial system.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

For example, to convert 10 Nm to ft-lb:

Enter 10 in the Newton-Meters input field.
Press "Convert".
The result will be displayed: 10 Nm = 7.38 ft-lb.
