About these units
Newton Meter (N·m)
- Definition
- A newton meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque, a one-newton force applied one meter from the pivot.
- History
- It combines the SI units of force and distance.
- Current use
- It is the standard torque unit for engines, fasteners, and machinery.
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.
