What is N·m (N·m)?
The newton-metre (N·m) is the SI unit of torque: one newton of force applied one metre from the pivot. It is the standard for tightening specifications in Europe.
What is ft·lb (ft·lb)?
The pound-foot (ft·lb, or lb·ft) is the imperial torque unit: one pound of force at one foot. It is standard in the US and equals about 1.356 N·m.
Why convert N·m to ft·lb?
Torque is rotational force. Europe uses newton-metres (N·m), the US uses pound-feet (ft·lb) and pound-inches (in·lb), and older specs use kilogram-force metres (kgf·m). Mechanics convert between them constantly.
One newton-metre equals about 0.7376 pound-feet (ft·lb); conversely 1 ft·lb = 1.3558 N·m. Car wheel bolts are typically torqued to roughly 110 N·m (about 81 ft·lb).
