A Pound-force Inch (lbf-in) is a unit of torque that represents the force of one pound-force applied at the end of a lever (or radius) that is one inch long. It is a measure of rotational force which is commonly used in mechanical engineering and various applications that involve turning objects.
Definition of British thermal unit ITThe British thermal unit (IT) or Btu(IT) is a unit of heat energy. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The 'IT' stands for International Table, which refers to the specific set of conditions used to define this unit.
| Pound-force Inch (lbf-in) | British thermal unit IT (Btu(IT)) |
|---|---|
| 1 lbf-in | 0.00077 Btu(IT) |
| 5 lbf-in | 0.00385 Btu(IT) |
| 10 lbf-in | 0.00770 Btu(IT) |
| 20 lbf-in | 0.01540 Btu(IT) |
| 50 lbf-in | 0.03850 Btu(IT) |
| 100 lbf-in | 0.07700 Btu(IT) |
| 200 lbf-in | 0.15400 Btu(IT) |
| 500 lbf-in | 0.38500 Btu(IT) |
| 1000 lbf-in | 0.77000 Btu(IT) |
| 2000 lbf-in | 1.54000 Btu(IT) |
Example 1:
