Torque Wrench Reading Conversion...

Would some kind person translate what 34 N-m means in something a 65 year old American might understand. Thanks Much, Dennis

"N-m" refers to "Newton-meters". This is a metric system measurement paramter for torque. Pound/Feet X 1.3558= Newton-meters. Or, Newton-meters divided by 1.3558= pound/feet.

I should have known this wasn't going to be easy

...How 'bout foot pounds of torque that equal 34 N-m... And, I don't want to know about nautical miles or nuthin else... Thanks, Dennis

I think this is correct:

34 Nm Equals(25 lbf ft)

25.07708 ft. lb.

The way I remember it is 100 N-m = 72 lb-ft, so you just divide or multiply by 0.72 as required.
