Is pound-foot the same as foot-pound?
In torque contexts they are often used for the same magnitude, but lb·ft makes the force-distance meaning clearer.
Torque Converter
Convert newton-meters, pound-feet, pound-inches, and kilogram-force meters.

Example
A torque of 1 pound-foot converts to approximately 1.35581795 newton-meters.
Calculation method
Torque values convert through the SI base representation of newton-meters using fixed factors for pound-force and kilogram-force units.
Important notes
Torque and energy can share the dimension N·m but describe different physical quantities; do not interchange their interpretations.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert pound-inches to pound-feet?
Yes. Twelve pound-inches equal one pound-foot.
Does this calculate torque from force and lever length?
No. This page converts an existing torque value between units.
