Newton metre to Kilogram-force metre

Exact answer: 1 N·m = 0.101971621298 kgf·m (exact defined factor)

Newton metre and Kilogram-force metre describe the same quantity from the Torque family but come from different systems of units. The factor is defined exactly. Torque is behind tightening torques, engine data and every bolted joint with a specification.

Example value from the reference table. Internal calculation uses stored factors; display output is rounded.

02Common mistake

Torque is not power. Newton metre and hp/kW answer different questions.

03Base unit: N·m

1 N·m = 0.101971621298 kgf·m. Newton metre is the base unit of the family, so the value is converted directly.
