Newton-meters (Nm) and foot-pounds (ft-lbs) are the two most widely used units of torque. Newton-meters are part of the SI (metric) system, while foot-pounds are used in the imperial system, predominantly in the United States.
The conversion formula is straightforward: 1 Nm = 0.7375621493 ft-lbs. To convert any value from Newton-meters to foot-pounds, simply multiply the Nm value by 0.7375621493.
For the reverse conversion (ft-lbs to Nm), divide by 0.7375621493, or equivalently multiply by 1.3558179483. Visit our Nm to Ft-Lbs Converter for a full multi-unit torque converter that handles Nm, ft-lbs, in-lbs, kgf·cm, and more.
