Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

What Does "Nm" Stand For?

I am trying to figure out what "Nm" stands for. I've been looking at cars from other countries and wonder how Nm is converted to .lbs/ft. If you could help me it would be great. Thanks

Unfortunately the site doesn't appear to include Nm in the Torque section! (Someone may care to address this).
So to give you what you require: 1 lbf*ft = 1.356Nm or 1Nm = 0.737 lbf*ft
