What is the relationship between newton meter and millinewton meter?

One newton meter equals one thousand millinewton meters; the millinewton meter is one thousandth of a newton meter.

Why use millinewton meters instead of newton meters?

Millinewton meters allow precise measurement of small torque values typically found in miniature motors and small mechanical devices.

Is a newton meter the same as a joule?

While dimensionally equivalent, a newton meter represents torque (rotational force), whereas a joule measures energy.
