Newton Meter (abbreviations: N.m, or nm, or newton.meter): is the moment of force in newton times the distance between reference and application points in meter.
Pound Inch (abbreviations: lb.in, or lb in, or pound.inch): is the moment of force in pound times the distance between reference and application points in inch.
How to Convert Newton Meters to Pound Inches
Example: How many pound inches are equivalent to 42.12 newton meters?
As;
1 newton meters = 8.8507480314961 pound inches
42.12 newton meters = Y pound inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 42.12 times 8.8507480314961 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 42.12 * 8.8507480314961 / 1 = 372.79350708662 pound inches
Answer is: 372.79350708662 pound inches are equivalent to 42.12 newton meters.
