    How to Convert Newton-meter to Pound-inch

    • 1 N·m = 8.850745791 lbf·in
    • 1 lbf·in = 0.112984829 N·m
    • Example: convert 15 N·m to lbf·in: 15 N·m = 15 × 8.850745791 lbf·in = 132.7611869 lbf·in

    Formula

    lbf·in = N·m × 8.850745791327

    Derivation from SI units:

    • 1 N·m = 1 N × 1 m = 1 kg·m²·s⁻²
    • 1 lbf·in = 4.4482216152605 N × 0.0254 m = 0.1129848290276 N·m

    Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Newton-meter definition: newton-meter; Pound-inch definition: pound-inch.

    Worked examples

    1. A 5 N·m bicycle stem bolt is 44.25372896 lbf·in.
      5 N·m × 8.850745791 = 44.25372896 lbf·in
    2. A 2.5 N·m terminal screw is 22.12686448 lbf·in.
      2.5 N·m × 8.850745791 = 22.12686448 lbf·in
