Understanding the Units

What is an Inch-Pound?

An inch-pound (force) equals exactly 1/12 of a foot-pound, or about 0.112985 newton-meters.

Common contexts: precision fasteners (US), small engines.

What is a Newton Meter?

The newton-meter is the SI derived unit of torque, equal to the moment produced by one newton acting at a perpendicular distance of one meter.

Common contexts: mechanical engineering, fastener specs.
