Results
- 1 ft·lbf = 1.3558179483314004 N·m
- 1 in·lbf = 0.1129848290276167 N·m
- 1 kgf·cm = 0.0980665 N·m
- 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m
- 1 J/rad = 1 N·m
Use this Nm to ft-lbs Converter to convert between newton-meters, foot-pounds, inch-pounds, kilogram-force units, and other supported torque units.
Conversion Method
For newton-meters and foot-pounds:
1 N·m ≈ 0.737562 ft·lbf
1 ft·lbf ≈ 1.355818 N·m
Therefore:
ft·lbf = N·m × 0.737562
Example
Convert 100 N·m to foot-pounds:
100 × 0.737562 ≈ 73.76 ft·lbf
Important Note
This converter changes torque units only. It does not determine the correct tightening torque for a bolt, vehicle, machine, bicycle, electrical terminal, or structural component.
For safety-critical work, always use the torque specification, tightening sequence, lubrication requirements, and procedures provided by the manufacturer or engineering documentation.
