What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert torque measurements from the pound-force foot unit, used primarily in the British/imperial system, to the kilogram-force meter, a non-SI metric unit. It simplifies translating torque values for use in engineering, mechanical maintenance, and automotive contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the torque value in pound-force foot (lbf*ft) in the input field
- Select pound-force foot as the original unit
- Choose kilogram-force meter as the target unit
- Click the convert button to obtain the value in kilogram-force meters
- Review the converted torque for use in your engineering or maintenance tasks
Key Features
- Converts torque from pound-force foot (lbf*ft) to kilogram-force meter (kgf·m)
- Easy-to-use interface with quick input and output
- Supports torque calculations relevant to automotive and mechanical engineering
- Browser-based and accessible without installation
- Provides clear examples for practical understanding
Examples
- Convert 10 lbf*ft to get 1.382549596 kgf·m
- Convert 50 lbf*ft to obtain 6.91274798 kgf·m
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting engine torque values reported in pound-force foot and converting them to metric equivalents

- Conversions between unit systems require careful application to avoid inconsistencies
- Torque values in different unit systems may demand attention to detail to prevent errors
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does pound-force foot measure?
- Pound-force foot is a torque unit representing the moment created by a force of one pound-force applied perpendicularly at one foot from a pivot point.
- Why convert pound-force foot to kilogram-force meter?
- Converting allows engineers and mechanics to translate torque values between British/imperial units and metric gravitational units for compatibility and documentation.
- Is kilogram-force meter a standard scientific unit?
- No, kilogram-force meter is a non-SI unit and might be less precise than Newton-meters in scientific contexts.
Key Terminology
- Pound-force foot (lbf*ft)
- A torque unit representing the moment from a pound-force applied at a one-foot distance in the imperial system.
- Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m)
- A non-SI metric torque unit equal to a force of one kilogram-force acting at one meter; often used in legacy metric contexts.
- Torque
- A measure of rotational force calculated as force multiplied by the distance from the pivot point.
