The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI unit of torque (moment of force). It represents the torque produced by a force of one newton applied at a perpendicular distance of one meter from the pivot point.Newton-meters are the international standard for torque specifications in automotive, industrial, and scientific applications.
What is Foot-pound (ft·lb)?
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.
