- The result in foot-pounds appears instantly, along with the same value in every other unit of torque.
- Press ⇄ to convert the other way.
Formula
lb·ft = N·m ÷ 1.35582. So 1 N·m = 0.737562 lb·ft, and 100 N·m = 73.7562 lb·ft.
Newton-metres to foot-pounds is needed when your torque wrench reads one unit and the manual gives the other: wheel lug nuts (typically 110–140 N·m, or 80–100 lb·ft), bike components (often 5 N·m) and engine specifications. Divide N·m by 1.35582, or multiply by 0.7376. Strictly the unit is pound-force feet (lbf·ft).
