Common Uses:
Automotive: Wheel torque specs (e.g., 100 lbf·ft = 135.6 N·m).
Physics/Engineering: Precision calculations in dyne-cm (CGS system).
Industrial: Hydraulic torque wrenches calibrated in kgf·m.
How to Use:
Find your starting unit (e.g., lbf·ft).
Multiply by the conversion factor (e.g., lbf·ft → N·m: ×1.35582).
