🔧 Torque Converter
Convert torque units — newton-metres, kilonewton-metres, pound-feet, pound-inches, kilogram-force metres and ounce-inches. 1 lbf·ft ≈ 1.3558 N·m.
1 N·m = 0.001 kN·m
1 newton-metres = 0.001 kilonewton-metres
1 × 0.001 = 0.001
1 N·m equals 0.001 kN·m, so multiplying by 0.001 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity — only the measuring stick changes.

All torque units
| Unit | Symbol | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Newton-metre | N·m | The SI unit of torque — one newton of force at one metre from the axis. Engine and fastener torque is specified in N·m across most of the world. |
| Kilonewton-metre | kN·m | A kilonewton-metre is 1,000 N·m — used for large machinery, structural connections and heavy industrial torque. |
| Pound-foot | lbf·ft | A pound-foot is the torque of one pound-force at one foot — the US car-spec unit (often written "ft-lb"). One lbf·ft is about 1.3558 N·m. |
| Pound-inch | lbf·in | A pound-inch is one-twelfth of a pound-foot (about 0.113 N·m) — used for small fasteners and precision assemblies. |
| Kilogram-force metre | kgf·m | A kilogram-force metre is the torque of one kilogram-force at one metre — 9.80665 N·m exactly. Older European and Japanese specs use it. |
| Ounce-inch | ozf·in | An ounce-inch is one-sixteenth of a pound-inch (about 0.00706 N·m) — the unit for small electric-motor and hobby-servo torque. |
