How to convert torque
Torque is force times perpendicular lever arm. A torque in newton-meters is not an energy instruction even though energy has the same dimensions.
Multiply by the source unit factor to get the base quantity, then divide by the target factor. The other-units table compares the same value without retyping it.
A worked example
10 foot-pounds force × 12 = 120 inch-pounds force.
Before you use the result
Displayed values are rounded; extra digits do not make your measurement more accurate. Torque is force times perpendicular lever arm. A torque in newton-meters is not an energy instruction even though energy has the same dimensions.
foot-pounds force (ft·lbf) to inch-pounds force (in·lbf): reference values
| foot-pounds force (ft·lbf) | inch-pounds force (in·lbf) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 12 |
| 10 | 120 |
| 100 | 1200 |
Calculated with the same conversion as the tool above.
