Torque Units
Torque is a vector physical quantity equal to the vector product of the radius vector drawn from the axis of rotation to the point of application of force to the vector of this force. Characterizes the rotational action of force on a solid body.
Torque is measured in Newton per meter. 1 N · m - the moment of force, which produces a force of 1 N per lever length of 1 m.
In metrology and in automation, scales can also be graded in other units.
SI system and non-SI units
- 1 Newton per meter [N·m] = 1 N·m.
- 1 Newton per centimeter [N·cm] = 0.01 N · m.
- 1 Din per meter [dyn·m] = 0.00001 N·m.
- 1 Din per centimeter [dyn·cm] = 0.0000001 N·m.
- 1 Kilogram of force per meter [kgf·m] = 9.80665 N·m.
- 1 Kilogram of force per centimeter [kgf·cm] = 0.0980665 N·m.
- 1 Gram of force per meter [gf·m] = 0.00980665 N·m.
- 1 Gram of force per centimeter [gf cm] = 0.0000980665 N·m.
United States and Britain
In view of the fact that in some English-speaking countries weight and length are measured in national units, the torque can also be measured in units other than the SI system.
- 1 Long (British) ton-force per foot [tf·ft] = 3037.03220426234 N·m.
- 1 Short (American) ton-force per foot [tf·ft] = 2711.6358966628 N·m.
- 1 Pound-force per foot [lbf·ft] = 1.35581794833 Н·м.
- 1 Pound-force per inch [lbf·in] = 0.11298482903 N·m.
- 1 Ounce-force per inch [ozf·in] = 0.00706155181 N·m.
