Kilogram-force meters to newton-meters
Type a value in kgf·m to get it in N·m instantly.
That's 1.4× as much torque as a sports car engine, while a truck engine is 2× more. On a 30 cm wrench, that is a pull of about 333.3 kg.
Convert the other way: N·m to kgf·m
What it means
How much turn is that?
Reference torques are typical values. Always use the figure in your own service manual for wheel nuts and engine bolts.
The math
How to convert kgf·m to N·m
To convert kilogram-force meters to newton-meters, multiply by 9.80665.
Example: 100 kgf·m × 9.80665 = 980.665 N·m.
In the other direction, 1 N·m = 0.101972 kgf·m.

About these units
Kilogram-force meters (kgf·m)
A kilogram-force meter is 9.81 N·m. Japanese and older European service manuals often use it.
Newton-meters (N·m)
The newton-meter is the SI unit of torque: one newton pushing at one meter from the pivot. Car specifications worldwide quote it.
