Frequently asked questions
How many Newton-meters are in one foot-pound?
One foot-pound is 1.35581795 N·m, so 100 ft·lbf is 135.581795 N·m.
What is the formula to convert foot-pounds to Newton-meters?
N·m = ft·lbf × 1.35581795. Multiply the value in foot-pounds by 1.35581795 to get Newton-meters.
How do I convert Newton-meters back to foot-pounds?
ft·lbf = N·m × 0.737562149, so 1 N·m is 0.737562149 ft·lbf. The N·m to ft·lbf page carries the same table in that direction.
