Discover the effortless way to convert torque measurements from pound-force feet (lbf-ft) to pound-force inches (lbf-in) with our intuitive online tool, crafted by Newtum for accuracy and ease.
A pound-force foot (lbf-ft) is a unit of torque in the imperial system. It represents the rotational force generated by one pound-force acting at a distance of one foot from the pivot point. Essentially, it measures the turning effect produced when a force is applied to a rotational system, such as a wrench turning a bolt.
Definition of Pound-force InchThe pound-force inch (lbf-in) is a unit of torque within the imperial measurement system. It measures the torque resulting from a one pound-force applied at a radius of one inch from a pivot point. This unit quantifies the rotational force which is crucial in various applications where precise tightening or turning is required.
| Pound-force Foot (lbf-ft) | Pound-force Inch (lbf-in) |
|---|---|
| 1 lbf-ft | 12 lbf-in |
| 2 lbf-ft | 24 lbf-in |
| 3 lbf-ft | 36 lbf-in |
| 4 lbf-ft | 48 lbf-in |
| 5 lbf-ft | 60 lbf-in |
| 6 lbf-ft | 72 lbf-in |
| 7 lbf-ft | 84 lbf-in |
| 8 lbf-ft | 96 lbf-in |
| 9 lbf-ft | 108 lbf-in |
| 10 lbf-ft | 120 lbf-in |
1 lbf-ft = 12 lbf-in
1 lbf-in = 0.0833 lbf-ft
Example 1:
Convert 2 lbf-ft to lbf-in:
2 lbf-ft = 2 × 12 lbf-in = 24 lbf-in
Example 2:
Convert 7 lbf-ft to lbf-in:
7 lbf-ft = 7 × 12 lbf-in = 84 lbf-in
The concept of torque, measured in pound-force feet and pound-force inches, has been a staple in mechanical engineering since the inception of the discipline. The conversion between these units has facilitated precision in rotational force applications, evolving alongside technological advancements to ensure accuracy in various industries.
