Torque Converter
What this does
Converts torque: newton-metres, kilogram-force metres, pound-feet and pound-inches.
Handy anchors
- 1 lb-ft = 1.356 N·m. 1 kgf·m = 9.807 N·m.
- Car wheel nuts: about 100–140 N·m (75–100 lb-ft). Bicycle stem bolts: 5–6 N·m.
Good to know
Set the torque wrench in the unit printed on it; over-tightening by a misread unit strips threads.
