- Pay attention to unit compatibility when converting torque values associated with SI units such as newton-meters.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does one pound-force foot represent?
- One pound-force foot is the torque produced by a one pound-force acting perpendicularly at a lever arm of one foot, used mainly in U.S. customary engineering.
- How is kilogram-force meter defined?
- A kilogram-force meter is the moment of force generated by one kilogram-force acting at one meter from the pivot, commonly used in legacy engineering and physics problems.
- Why convert between pound-force foot and kilogram-force meter?
- Conversion allows interpreting torque values from U.S. customary units to gravitational/meter-based units used in international, educational, or legacy engineering contexts.
Key Terminology
- Pound-force foot [lbf*ft]
- A torque unit representing a pound-force applied at one foot from a pivot, used primarily in U.S. customary engineering.
- Kilogram-force meter [kgf*m]
- A torque unit equal to the moment created by one kilogram-force acting at one meter from the pivot, common in legacy engineering.
- Moment of force (Torque)
- The measure of the turning effect produced by a force applied at a distance from a pivot point.
