What are Pound-force Inch and Kilonewton Meter

Definition of Pound-force Inch

The pound-force inch (lbf·in) is a unit of torque in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It measures the twisting force applied at a distance of one inch from the axis of rotation. One pound-force inch is equivalent to the torque resulting from a one-pound force acting perpendicularly on a one-inch long lever. Engineers and mechanics often use this unit to specify the torque of engines, machinery, and tools.

Definition of Kilonewton Meter

The kilonewton meter (kN·m) is a unit of torque in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the torque produced when a force of one kilonewton is applied perpendicularly to the end of a lever arm one meter long. Widely used in engineering and physics, kN·m measures the rotational force that influences the twisting and turning of objects, particularly in structural and mechanical applications.
