About these units
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.
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.
