Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between torque and energy if both are measured in newton-metres?
- Torque (N*m) is the rotational equivalent of force applied at a distance -- it describes how hard something twists. Energy (J = N*m) is work done or heat transferred. Despite identical units, they are physically distinct quantities and cannot be added or compared.
- How do I convert ft-lb to N*m for a torque wrench?
- Multiply ft-lb by 1.35582. So 100 ft-lb is approximately 135.6 N*m. Many torque wrenches display both scales.
- Why do engine specs sometimes list torque in kgf*m?
- Older Japanese and European engineering documents used kilogram-force metres before SI standardisation. 1 kgf*m = 9.80665 N*m. A 30 kgf*m engine torque figure equals roughly 294 N*m or 217 lb-ft.
