Foot-Pound to Newton-Meter Converter

How to Convert Foot-Pounds to Newton-Meters

To convert from foot-pounds (ft-lb) to newton-meters (nm), you multiply the number of foot-pounds by 1.3558179483314004. This is because 1 foot-pound is equal to 1.3558179483314004 newton-meters.

Formula

Newton-Meters = Foot-Pounds × 1.3558179483314004

or

nm = ft-lb × 1.3558179483314004

Step-by-step process

1. Take the measurement in foot-pounds
2. Multiply that number by 1.3558179483314004
3. The result is the equivalent torque in newton-meters

Examples

• 1 ft-lb = 1 × 1.3558179483314004 = 1.3558179483314004 nm
• 2 ft-lb = 2 × 1.3558179483314004 = 2.7116358966628008 nm
