Torque is not energy, even though the units look related: a newton-metre of torque is not a joule of work. Do not use this table to convert engine work or heat.
Convert newton-metres to pound-feet, pound-inches, newton-centimetres and kilogram-metres — for wheel nuts, engine specs and workshop torque settings.

Convert newton-metres to pound-feet, pound-inches, newton-centimetres and kilogram-metres — for wheel nuts, engine specs and workshop torque settings.
Wheel nuts tightened to 120 newton-metres need a setting of 88.5 pound-feet on an imperial torque wrench.
Result = input × source-unit factor ÷ destination-unit factor. All factors are relative to the same base unit; intermediate values are not rounded.
Newton-metres, Newton-centimetres, Pound-feet, Pound-inches, Kilogram-metres. Read the labels carefully: regional or decimal/binary variants are separate choices.
For torque, pound-feet is the careful term; foot-pound usually names the energy unit. Numerically the product is identical — this converter covers the torque meaning.
