Newton-meters to foot-pounds Converter
Enter the newton-meters, then press Calculate. The foot-pounds stay hidden while you type.
Press Calculate after the entries are in.
What this torque conversion is for
Use this page when a measurement is written in newton-meters and the next step needs foot-pounds. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.
The factor
Multiply by the factor: 1 newton-meter = 0.73756215 foot-pounds.
A worked example
10 newton-meters are 7.37562149 foot-pounds. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.
How to check it
Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.
The reverse conversion is foot-pounds to newton-meters. A nearby pair in the same units is inch-pounds to foot-pounds. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the torque at that rpm.
