Full API documentation

Explanation

Formula: Pound-feet = Pound-inches × 0.083333. Why: both units are pound-force torque scales with fixed newton-meter equivalents, so the conversion moves through one deterministic SI normalization path.

Pound-inches (lbf·in): an imperial torque unit used for smaller fasteners, electronics assemblies, and low-range mechanical adjustments.

Pound-feet (lbf·ft): an imperial torque unit common in automotive, machinery, and fastener specifications.

This route is useful when translating imperial torque values between pound-feet and pound-inches for fasteners, tools, and low-range mechanical adjustments.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through newton-meters using fixed torque definitions with no offset.

Method & Reference
