1 lb/ft = 1.48816 kg/m.
For example, 10 pound-feet (lb-ft) converts to approximately 14.8816 kilogram-force metres (kgf·m).
lb/ft: A pound-foot (lb-ft) is a torque unit produced by one pound-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot.
kg/m: A kilogram-force metre (kgf·m) is the torque produced by one kilogram-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one metre.
Displayed results may be rounded for readability. Retain additional digits during intermediate engineering calculations when greater precision is required.

PCF is another common way to write pounds per cubic foot, also shown as lb/ft³ or lb/ft3.
This conversion is commonly used for soil unit weight, material density, aggregate density, concrete density, and geotechnical report values.
Enter the torque value in pound-feet (lb-ft) above. The converter applies the established conversion factor and returns the equivalent value in kilogram-force metres (kgf·m).
No. Torque describes a rotational effect of force, while energy describes the capacity to do work. Some units may look similar, but the physical quantities are different.
