Explore our intuitive lbf·ft to kgf·m converter, designed by Newtum, to seamlessly transform your torque measurements from Pound-force Feet to Kilogram-force Meters with precision—sparking your curiosity to delve deeper.
A Pound-force Foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one pound-force acting at a distance of one foot from the pivot point. It quantifies the leverage exerted and is widely used in the engineering and automotive industries.
Definition of Kilogram-force MeterA Kilogram-force Meter (kgf·m) is a metric unit of torque. It is defined as the force of one kilogram-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one meter from a pivot point. This unit measures how much rotational force is exerted in mechanical systems.
| Pound-force Foot (lbf·ft) | Kilogram-force Meter (kgf·m) |
|---|---|
| 1 lbf·ft | 0.1383 kgf·m |
| 5 lbf·ft | 0.6915 kgf·m |
| 10 lbf·ft | 1.3827 kgf·m |
| 15 lbf·ft | 2.0739 kgf·m |
| 20 lbf·ft | 2.7652 kgf·m |
| 25 lbf·ft | 3.4565 kgf·m |
| 30 lbf·ft | 4.1478 kgf·m |
| 35 lbf·ft | 4.8390 kgf·m |
| 40 lbf·ft | 5.5303 kgf·m |
| 50 lbf·ft | 6.9139 kgf·m |
Example 1:
Convert 10 lbf·ft to kgf·m:
10 lbf·ft = 10 × 0.1383 kgf·m = 1.383 kgf·m
Example 2:
Convert 25 lbf·ft to kgf·m:
25 lbf·ft = 25 × 0.1383 kgf·m = 3.4575 kgf·m
The Pound-force Foot to Kilogram-force Meter Converter is a tool that evolved from the need to standardize the conversion process between imperial and metric torque units. Its development reflects the increasing interaction between systems using different measurement standards in engineering and global trade.
