How to convert newton-meters to inch-pounds
Worked example: 10 N·m ≈ 88.51 in-lb
10 N·m ÷ 0.1129848290276167 ≈ 88.51 in-lb
Rule: inch-pounds = newton-meters ÷ 0.1129848290276167 — exact: 1 in-lb = 0.1129848290276167 N·m.
| Newton-meters | Inch-pounds |
|---|---|
| 2 N·m | 17.7 in-lb |
| 3 N·m | 26.55 in-lb |

FAQ
How many in-lbs is 1 Nm?
1 N·m ≈ 8.851 in-lb. The exact relation goes the other way: 1 in-lb = 0.1129848290276167 N·m, so in-lb = N·m ÷ 0.1129848290276167.
Where does the factor 0.1129848290276167 come from?
An inch-pound of torque is one pound-force acting on a one-inch lever: 1 in-lb = 1 lbf × 1 in. The pound-force is exactly 4.4482216152605 N and the inch is exactly 0.0254 m, so their product, 0.1129848290276167 N·m, is exact too. It is one twelfth of a foot-pound.
When are inch-pounds used instead of foot-pounds?
For small torques: bicycle stems and seat posts, electronics, carburetor and valve-cover bolts. 1 ft-lb = 12 in-lb exactly, so an in-lb scale reads twelve times higher than a ft-lb scale for the same torque.
How do kgf·m relate to in-lbs?
1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m exactly, which is about 86.8 in-lb. Older torque tables print kgf·m, so every answer here also shows it.
