  • This converter assumes standard gravity in the conversion process

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a poundal foot measure?
A poundal foot measures moment of force or torque, defined as one poundal of force applied at a lever arm of one foot in imperial engineering.

Why use ton-force meter instead of newton metre?
Ton-force meter is preferred for expressing moments involving heavy loads and machinery where force is measured in metric tons.

Can I convert torque from poundal foot to ton-force meter directly?
Yes, this tool converts poundal foot values directly to ton-force meter using an established conversion rate.

Key Terminology

Poundal foot [pdl*ft]
An imperial unit of moment of force equal to one poundal applied at a lever arm of one foot.
Ton-force (metric) meter
A metric moment of force unit representing the force of one metric ton applied at one meter lever arm.
Moment of force
A measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about a pivot point or axis.
