Discover the ease of converting pound-force inches to newton meters with Newtum's accurate lbf-in to Nm converter tool, designed to simplify your calculations.
A pound-force inch (lbf-in) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force applied at a distance of one inch from the pivot point, multiplied by one pound-force. It's commonly used in the United States for measuring torque, particularly in automotive and engineering applications.
Definition of Newton MeterA newton meter (Nm) is the metric unit of torque, also known as moment of force. It represents the torque created by one newton force acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter from the pivot point. It's widely used in physics, engineering, and automotive industries to quantify rotational forces.
| Pound-force Inch (lbf-in) | Newton Meter (Nm) |
|---|---|
| 1 lbf-in | 0.113 Nm |
| 5 lbf-in | 0.565 Nm |
| 10 lbf-in | 1.129 Nm |
| 20 lbf-in | 2.259 Nm |
| 30 lbf-in | 3.388 Nm |
| 40 lbf-in | 4.517 Nm |
| 50 lbf-in | 5.647 Nm |
| 75 lbf-in | 8.470 Nm |
| 100 lbf-in | 11.294 Nm |
| 200 lbf-in | 22.588 Nm |
Example 1:
Convert 10 lbf-in to Nm:
10 lbf-in = 10 × 0.113 Nm = 1.13 Nm
Example 2:
Convert 50 lbf-in to Nm:
50 lbf-in = 50 × 0.113 Nm = 5.65 Nm
