Limitations to know
- Always follow the manufacturer’s specification and units for safety-critical torque settings.
- Results are shown to up to 10 significant digits; extremely large or small values switch to scientific notation (e.g. 1.5e-12).

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert N·m to lb-ft?
Multiply by 0.737562. For example, 200 N·m × 0.737562 = 147.5 lbf·ft.
Is torque the same as energy because both use N·m?
No. They share units but are different quantities: torque is a turning force; energy is work done.
