About These Units
Kilonewton Meter (kN·m)
A kilonewton meter (kN·m) equals 1,000 N·m. Used for heavy machinery: wind turbine generator 3-20 kN·m, ship propeller shaft 10-100+ kN·m, industrial gearboxes. Large structural bolts may require 10-50 kN·m tightening torque.
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.
