What Is This Tool?
This tool converts torque values from ounce-force inch, a small-scale torque unit, to newton meter, the standard SI torque unit, helping you translate measurements for use in engineering, automotive, and precision instrument contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the torque value in ounce-force inch (ozf*in) you want to convert.
-
Select ounce-force inch as the input unit and newton meter as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent torque in newton meters.
-
Review the result and use it for engineering or calibration purposes.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter when dealing with small torque values in precision applications.
-
Double-check unit selection before converting to avoid errors.
-
Refer to the conversion factor 1 ozf*in = 0.007061552 N*m for manual calculations.
-
Apply the converted values in engineering designs, testing, or calibration accurately.
-
Avoid using ounce-force inch for large torque measurements where newton meters are preferred.
Limitations
-
Ounce-force inch is intended for very small torque measurements only.
-
Conversion precision may be affected by rounding in practical use.
-
Not suitable for large scale industrial torque values that require other units.
-
The tool does not support units other than ounce-force inch and newton meter.
-
Conversion formulas are fixed and do not provide unit dimension analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an ounce-force inch?
-
An ounce-force inch is a torque unit representing one ounce-force applied one inch from a pivot, used mainly for very small torque measurements.
-
Why convert from ounce-force inch to newton meter?
-
Converting allows small-scale torque measurements to be expressed in the standard SI unit, useful in mechanical, automotive, and engineering applications.
-
Can this converter handle large torque values?
-
No, the ounce-force inch unit suits very small torques and conversions of larger values are better done directly in newton meters.
