Convert Pound-force inches to Kilogram-force metres
Convert Pound-force inches (lbf·in) to Kilogram-force metres (kgf·m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kgf·m = lbf·in × 0.0115212462
About Pound-force inches
The pound-force inch (lbf·in) equals ≈ 0.11299 N·m, the dominant US customary unit for motor and machinery documentation. Rockwell Automation, Parker Hannifin, and Allied Motion servo catalogs express stall and rated torques in lbf·in; US machine-tool spindles and conveyor drive gearboxes are also specified in lbf·in. Typical fractional-horsepower motor torques: 5-200 lbf·in. 1 lbf·in ≈ 0.11299 N·m = 16 ozf·in = 1/12 lbf·ft.
About Kilogram-force metres
The kilogram-force metre (kgf·m) equals exactly 9.80665 N·m, used in pre-SI European and legacy Asian engineering. Soviet/Russian GOST standards, early JIS turbine and compressor specifications, and older DIN automotive standards listed torque in kgf·m. A car wheel bolt at 10 kgf·m ≈ 98.1 N·m. 1 kgf·m = 9.80665 N·m = 100 kgf·cm ≈ 7.233 lbf·ft ≈ 86.80 lbf·in.
