What does one Newton meter represent?

One Newton meter is the torque produced by applying a force of one newton perpendicular to a lever arm of one metre, representing rotational effect rather than energy.

What is a pound-force inch used for?

Pound-force inch quantifies turning force in imperial engineering, commonly for small fasteners, electronics screws, and small motor torque.

How do I convert from Newton meters to pound-force inches?

Multiply the value in Newton meters by 8.850745454 to get the equivalent torque in pound-force inches.
