The foot-pound (ft·lb or lbf·ft) is an imperial unit of torque equal to the torque produced by one pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one foot from the pivot point.Foot-pounds are the standard torque unit in the United States, used extensively in automotive repair, construction, and engineering.
What is Inch-pound (in·lb)?
The inch-pound (in·lb or lbf·in) is an imperial unit of torque equal to the torque produced by one pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one inch from the pivot point.Inch-pounds are used for small, precise fasteners where foot-pounds would be too coarse — electronics, bicycle components, and firearms.
