Convert Kilonewton-meters to Newton-meters
kN·m to N·m · torque conversion
What are kilonewton-meters and newton-meters?
A kilonewton-meter is 1,000 newton-meters, used in heavy engineering. The newton-meter is the SI unit of torque, one newton applied one meter from the pivot. For reference: car lug nuts are often torqued to around 120 N·m (about 89 lb·ft).
How to convert kilonewton-meters to newton-meters
1 kN·m = 1,000 N·m. To convert, multiply the number of kilonewton-meters by 1,000. For example, 5 kN·m = 5,000 N·m, and 20 kN·m = 20,000 N·m. To go the other way, multiply newton-meters by 0.001 (since 1 N·m = 0.001 kN·m).

FAQ
What is 1 kN·m in N·m?
1 kN·m = 1,000 N·m. To convert any amount, multiply the number of kilonewton-meters by 1,000.
How do I convert newton-meters back to kilonewton-meters?
Go the other way: 1 N·m = 0.001 kN·m, so multiply newton-meters by 0.001 to get kilonewton-meters.
Is a kilonewton-meter bigger than a newton-meter?
Yes — 1 kN·m is the larger unit, equal to 1,000 N·m.
Are these torque conversions exact?
They use the standard internationally-defined conversion factors. Results are rounded to six significant figures for readability, which is accurate enough for everyday and most technical use.
