About these units
Kilonewton Meter (kN·m)
- Definition
- A kilonewton meter (kN·m) is 1,000 newton meters, used for large torques and bending moments.
- History
- It scales the newton meter for heavy engineering.
- Current use
- It expresses structural bending moments and heavy-machinery torque.
Pound-inch (lbf·in)
- Definition
- A pound-inch (lbf·in) is one twelfth of a pound-foot, used for smaller imperial torques.
- History
- It is the small-scale counterpart of the pound-foot.
- Current use
- It specifies tightening torque for small bolts and assemblies in the US.
