What is the torque converter?
The torque converter is a collection of calculators for changing one torque unit into another. Convert torque units for engines, motors, fasteners, tools, machinery, and mechanical engineering.
Torque conversions are useful for engines, fasteners, power tools, machinery, automotive specifications, and mechanical design.
Available torque units
This category includes the following units:
- Newton Meter (N m)
- Kilonewton Meter (kN m)
- Pound-foot (lb ft)
- Pound-inch (lb in)
- Kilogram-force Meter (kgf m)
Common torque use cases
Use this category when the same measurement appears in different unit systems, data sheets, calculators, reports, or regional conventions.
- Torque conversions help compare measurements across specifications, calculators, labels, and technical references.
- Use this category when source data and target documents use different torque units.
- The dedicated conversion pages show formulas, examples, tables, related pages, and FAQ for individual unit pairs.

Most wrong answers come from mixing unit systems, rounding too early, or choosing a unit that looks similar but means something different.
- Do not hide the original torque unit when copying a result into a report, label, or calculator.
- Do not round intermediate values when the result will be reused in another formula.
- Check whether the source and target units describe the same physical quantity before comparing torque values.
