Common torque conversion mistakes
-
Torque and energy share a dimension but are different quantities. A tightening torque of 10 Nm is not 10 joules of energy, and rewriting a torque as joules gives a number with no meaning. That is why the converter keeps them in separate categories.
-
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.
