What is a inch-pound?
An inch-pound is one twelfth of a foot-pound, about 0.113 Nm. Small fasteners, electronics and aviation hardware are specified in inch-pounds because foot-pound figures would be inconveniently small.
What is a newton meter?
The newton meter is the SI unit of torque: one newton of force applied at one meter from the pivot. It is the unit on almost every metric torque wrench and vehicle service manual.
