OverviewA tightening torque converted between newton-metres, millinewton-metres, newton-centimetres, kilogram-force centimetres and metres, pound-force inches and feet.
A tightening torque converted between newton-metres, millinewton-metres, newton-centimetres, kilogram-force centimetres and metres, pound-force inches and feet. Torque has the dimension of an energy without being one: no conversion to joules is offered.
Method & formulasT = F × d
T = F × d1 N·m = 1 N applied 1 m from the axis
Torque is the product of a force and its distance to the axis of rotation (lever arm).

Validity domainThe newton-metre and the joule share one dimension (M·L²·T⁻²).
The newton-metre and the joule share one dimension (M·L²·T⁻²). Torque is a moment, the cross product of a force and a lever arm; energy is work, the dot product of a force and a displacement.
