A kilojoule (kJ) is an SI-derived energy unit equal to 1,000 joules, commonly used in scientific, nutritional, and engineering contexts.

When should I use pound-force inch?

Pound-force inch (lbf*in) is used mostly in the US for measuring small mechanical work, such as the energy per turn of a screw or actuator work.

How do I convert kilojoules to pound-force inch?

Multiply the kilojoule value by 8850.7457916 to find the equivalent energy in pound-force inch units.
