The method, explained
Convert to N·m, then divide by the target factor. One lbf·ft = 1.3558179483314004 N·m; one lbf·in is one twelfth of that.
10 N·m is approximately 7.37562 lbf·ft. One lbf·ft equals 12 lbf·in.
What to keep in mind
Converts nonnegative torque magnitudes only. It does not recommend fastening torque, account for friction or convert energy into an applied torque.
Common questions
Is a newton-metre here the same quantity as a joule?
They have the same unit dimensions but represent different physical quantities. This tool represents torque.
Can I use this to choose a bolt torque?
Use the equipment or fastener specification. Conversion alone cannot determine the correct setting.
