How to convert pound-force feet to pound-force inches
Moment equals force times perpendicular distance. Although its dimensions match energy, a moment in N·m is not a quantity of heat or work in joules. Pound values here mean pound-force.
Use x for the value in lbf·ft, b for the intermediate value in N·m, and y for the result in lbf·in.
lbf·in = lbf·ft × 1.3558179483314003 ÷ 0.11298482902761668
Worked examples
10 lbf·ft ≈ 120 lbf·in
Step 1: (10 × 1.35581794833) ≈ 13.5581794833 N·m.
Step 2: 13.5581794833 ÷ 0.112984829028 ≈ 120 lbf·in.20 lbf·ft ≈ 240 lbf·in
Step 1: (20 × 1.35581794833) ≈ 27.1163589666 N·m.
Step 2: 27.1163589666 ÷ 0.112984829028 ≈ 240 lbf·in.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Pound-force feet
Pound-force feet (lbf·ft) measures moment of force under the conventions above. The base value in N·m is (x × 1.35581794833), where x is the numerical value in lbf·ft. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
