Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The inch-pound (in·lbf) is one twelfth of a torque foot-pound — the turning effect of one pound-force at one inch from the pivot.
Inch-pounds specify small fasteners, electronics assembly torque, and precision instrument screws in US industry.
The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque — the rotational force applied through a lever arm to turn a shaft, bolt, or rotating body.
Newton-meters specify automotive lug-nut torque, wrench settings, and motor output on machinery nameplates — the force you apply to rotate something.
N·m = lbf·in × 0.112984829lbf·in = N·m × 8.8507457935, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any torque conversion starting from inch-pound — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
