Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a pound-force foot?
- A pound-force foot (lbf*ft) is a torque unit representing the moment created by applying a one pound-force perpendicular to a one foot lever arm, mainly used in the imperial system.
- What does a kilonewton meter measure?
- A kilonewton meter (kN*m) is an SI-derived torque unit that measures the moment produced by a one kilonewton force applied perpendicular to a one meter lever arm.
- Why convert from pound-force foot to kilonewton meter?
- Converting torque values from pound-force foot to kilonewton meter helps facilitate engineering calculations, equipment specifications, and communication in systems that standardize on SI units.
Key Terminology
