Example: pound-foot to newton centimeter

Starting value Increment Accuracy

To convert pound-foot to newton centimeter, multiply by 135.581795.

1 lbf·ft = 135.581795 Ncm

Example: 1 pound-foot = 135.581795 newton centimeter

Pound-foot (lbf·ft) and foot-pound (ft·lbf) are the same size but mean different things: the first is torque, the second work. An American spec of 100 ft-lb always means torque in practice, that is 135.58 Nm.
1 Nm is 100 Ncm, not 10. The centi prefix is one hundredth, exactly as between the meter and the centimeter. Getting it wrong puts a factor of ten on a screwdriver setting.
