Inch-Pound to Foot-Pound Calculator
Convert inch-pounds to foot-pounds accurately for torque wrench settings, fastener torque calculations, mechanical engineering projects, calibration procedures, and industrial maintenance tasks.
What Are Inch-Pounds?
An inch-pound (in-lb) is a torque unit that measures rotational force applied at a one-inch lever arm. Engineers, mechanics, and technicians use inch-pounds for lower torque specifications involving fasteners, equipment calibration, torque wrenches, and precision mechanical assemblies where accurate torque measurement is essential.
What Are Foot-Pounds?
A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a torque measurement representing one pound-force applied at a one-foot distance from a pivot point. Automotive torque specifications, industrial machinery maintenance, rotational mechanics, engineering calculations, and torque wrench settings commonly use foot-pounds because they simplify larger torque values.
