Use the numbers on nmtoftlbs.org as a unit conversion, not as an instruction. Here is where they stop.

Not a source of torque specs

The site changes a torque value from one unit to another. It does not know what a bolt should be torqued to. Get that figure from the service manual or the component, and apply it with a calibrated wrench. Under- or over-torquing can cause a failure, and that judgement is not something a converter can make.

Torque is not energy or force

A newton-metre of torque shares base units with the joule of energy but is a different quantity, and pound-force is a force, not a twist. The pages keep these apart, so make sure you are converting the quantity you actually mean.

Accuracy and rounding

Results are rounded for reading, so they can sit slightly off the full-precision value. The factors are the standard ones (1 Nm = 0.7376 ft-lb), and when a job needs exactness, work from those directly.

The bottom line

We take care and use recognised factors, but we can't promise a result suits your exact case, and we take no responsibility for decisions or work carried out on the strength of it.
