The newton-meter
The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI derived unit of torque — the moment of force exerted by one newton applied at one meter of perpendicular distance. The metric standard for every modern engineering spec sheet.
1 N·m = 8.85075 lb-in
1 newton-meter equals 8.85075 pound-inches. To convert newton-meters to pound-inches, multiply the newton-meter value by 8.85075. For quick reference: 1 N·m = 8.85075 lb-in, 5 N·m = 44.2537 lb-in, 10 N·m = 88.5075 lb-in, 100 N·m = 885.075 lb-in.

The newton-meter (N·m) is the SI derived unit of torque — the moment of force exerted by one newton applied at one meter of perpendicular distance. The metric standard for every modern engineering spec sheet.
The pound-inch equals 1/12 of a pound-foot, or about 0.113 N·m. Used for fine-fastener torque specs (small bolts, screws) where pound-feet would produce inconveniently small numbers.
