Torque Converter

Convert between different units of torque (rotational force). Torque is essential in automotive and engineering applications.

Common Torque Units

  • Newton-meter (Nm): SI unit of torque
  • Pound-foot (lb-ft): Imperial unit
  • Kilogram-force meter (kgf⋅m): Metric unit

Torque Conversion Example

A car engine produces 200 Nm of torque. Convert to lb-ft:

  • Result: 200 Nm ≈ 147.5 lb-ft
