About These Units
Dyne Centimeter (dyn·cm)
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) equals 10⁻⁷ N·m—the CGS unit of torque. One newton meter = 10⁷ dyne·cm. Used in scientific literature, particularly older physics texts. Also known as erg (unit of energy and work in CGS).
Pound-force Inch (lb·in)
A pound-inch (lb·in) equals 1/12 pound-foot or 0.113 N·m. Standard for fastener torque specs in US: typical bolt 15-100 lb·in, automotive lug nut 80-100 lb·ft. Torque wrenches often calibrated in lb·in for precision work.
