Torque Conversion FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting inch-pounds to Newton metres and applying torque correctly.
To convert inch-pounds (in-lbs) to Newton metres (Nm), multiply the inch-pound value by 0.112984829. For example, 100 in-lbs multiplied by 0.112984829 equals approximately 11.30 Nm.
100 inch-pounds is equal to 11.298 Newton metres (typically rounded to 11.30 Nm). This is a common torque specification for automotive interior components, small machinery, and light fixtures.
Both are Imperial units of torque, but they measure different scales. One foot-pound (ft-lbs) is equal to 12 inch-pounds (in-lbs). Inch-pounds are used for smaller, more precise torque applications (like electronics or bicycles), while foot-pounds are used for larger applications (like automotive lug nuts or engine components).
Inch-pounds are commonly used in the United States and other regions utilising the Imperial system for applications requiring lower, more precise torque. This includes assembling small electronics, bicycle maintenance, aircraft components, and delicate automotive interior work.
