How it works
Newton-metres and foot-pounds both measure torque — a force applied at a distance from a pivot. The conversion is a single fixed factor.
ft-lbs = Nm × 0.737562149
1 ft-lb = 1.35582 Nm
1 ft-lb = 1.35582 Nm
Worked example
A wheel-nut spec of 100 Nm converts to 100 × 0.737562 = 73.76 ft-lbs, so a ft-lb torque wrench should be set to about 74.
