Frequently Asked Questions

What does one poundal foot represent?
One poundal foot is the moment of force generated by one poundal of force applied perpendicularly at a lever arm of one foot in the imperial system.

Is newton meter the same as a joule?
Although dimensionally equal to a joule, the newton meter is used specifically to represent torque or rotational force, not energy.

Why convert from poundal foot to newton meter?
Converting to newton meter standardizes torque values to SI units, ensuring compatibility with modern mechanical and engineering equipment.

Key Terminology

Poundal foot [pdl*ft]
An imperial unit of torque representing one poundal of force applied at a lever arm of one foot perpendicularly.
Newton meter [N*m]
The SI derived unit of torque defined by a force of one newton applied perpendicularly at a lever arm of one meter.
Moment of force
Also known as torque, it is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis.
