Frequently Asked Questions
Why do car specs list torque in both Nm and lb-ft?
Different regions and manufacturers use different conventions -- metric (Nm) is common outside the US, while pound-feet (lb-ft) is common in the US.
Is this the same as force?
No, torque is a rotational (twisting) force applied at a distance from a pivot point, while plain force is linear. See the Force Converter for linear force units.
Do I need to install anything to use this?
No, it works directly in your browser with no installation or account required.
