Torque Converter
Convert torque between newton-meters, foot-pounds, kilogram-force meters, and inch-pounds.
How it works
Torque is twisting force, and it is quoted differently on either side of the Atlantic — newton-meters in metric specs, foot-pounds in American ones. Bolt torque charts and engine sheets mix them freely.
The key factor is that one foot-pound equals about 1.356 newton-meters. From there the tool also handles inch-pounds, common on smaller fasteners, and kilogram-force meters.
It is the tool to reach for when a torque wrench is marked in one unit and the repair manual insists on another — a common and easily costly mismatch.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this converter?
Enter a value and choose the unit you are starting from. The tool instantly shows the equivalent in every other torque unit, so there is nothing to submit.
Are the conversions exact?
They use standard published conversion factors, so they are accurate for everyday and technical use. Results are rounded for readability, not because the math is approximate.
Can I convert in either direction?
Yes. Pick any unit as your starting point and read off the others — the conversion works both ways.
