What does one newton millimeter measure?

One newton millimeter measures the torque produced by a one-newton force applied perpendicularly at a lever arm one millimeter long.

When should I convert torque from newton millimeters to pound-force inches?

This conversion is useful when translating precise metric torque measurements used in engineering and instrumentation into imperial units for US customary applications.

Can this conversion be used for large torque values?

This tool focuses on small torque values typically found in precision work, and its accuracy may be limited for very large torque measurements.
