A pound-force inch (lbf-in) is a unit of torque that represents the rotational force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point. It combines the weight (pound-force) with the leverage (inch) to describe the twisting or turning force exerted on an object. This traditional unit is commonly used in mechanical and engineering applications to specify the amount of torque required for various tasks.
Definition of GigatonA gigaton (GT) is a unit of mass often used to measure the energy released by nuclear explosions, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, or the mass of very large objects such as asteroids. One gigaton is equivalent to one billion metric tons. It's a massive scale of measurement that helps scientists and researchers convey the magnitude of large-scale phenomena in a tangible way.
| Pound-force Inch (lbf-in) | Gigaton (GT) |

| 10 million lbf-in | 1.35581795e-19 GT |
| 100 million lbf-in | 1.35581795e-18 GT |
| 1 billion lbf-in | 1.35581795e-17 GT |
1 lbf-in = 1.35581795e-26 GT
1 GT = 7.37562157e+25 lbf-in
Example 1:
Convert 100 lbf-in to GT:
100 lbf-in = 100 × 1.35581795e-26 GT = 1.35581795e-24 GT
Example 2:
Convert 500 lbf-in to GT:
500 lbf-in = 500 × 1.35581795e-26 GT = 6.77908975e-24 GT
