Engineering Unit Converters
Professional converters for torque, power, pressure, frequency, speed, and energy. Includes formulas, worked examples, and typical engineering values.
⚙️ Torque Converters
Convert between Newton-meters, foot-pounds, inch-pounds, kilogram-force meters, and more.
N·m → ft·lb
× 0.737562
100 N·m = 73.76 ft·lb
ft·lb → N·m
× 1.35582
50 ft·lb = 67.79 N·m
N·m → in·lb
× 8.85075
10 N·m = 88.51 in·lb
kgf·m → N·m
× 9.80665
5 kgf·m = 49.03 N·m
⚡ Power Converters
Convert between watts, kilowatts, horsepower (mechanical, metric, electrical), BTU/hr, and more.
HP → Watts
× 745.7
5 HP = 3,728.5 W
kW → HP
× 1.34102
10 kW = 13.41 HP
Watts → BTU/hr
× 3.41214
1,000 W = 3,412 BTU/hr
kW → BTU/hr
× 3412.14
2 kW = 6,824 BTU/hr
🔬 Pressure Converters
Convert PSI to bar, Pascal, kPa, atm, mmHg, and all major pressure units.
PSI → Bar
÷ 14.5038
30 PSI = 2.068 bar
Bar → PSI
× 14.5038
2 bar = 29.01 PSI
PSI → Pascal
× 6894.76
1 PSI = 6,894.76 Pa
kPa → PSI
× 0.14504
200 kPa = 29.01 PSI
📡 Frequency & Wavelength
Convert between Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz, RPM, rad/s, and wavelength in various units.
Hz → kHz
÷ 1,000
50,000 Hz = 50 kHz
MHz → Hz
× 1,000,000
2.4 MHz = 2,400,000 Hz
RPM → Hz
÷ 60
3,000 RPM = 50 Hz
Hz → rad/s
× 6.28318
50 Hz = 314.16 rad/s
🏎️ Speed & Velocity
Convert km/h, mph, m/s, knots, Mach, and more for automotive and aerospace applications.
km/h → mph
× 0.621371
100 km/h = 62.14 mph
mph → km/h
× 1.60934
60 mph = 96.56 km/h
m/s → km/h
× 3.6
10 m/s = 36 km/h
Knots → km/h
× 1.852
50 kn = 92.6 km/h
🔋 Energy Converters
Convert joules, kilojoules, calories, kilocalories, kWh, BTU, and more.
kJ → kcal
÷ 4.18400
100 kJ = 23.9 kcal
kWh → MJ
× 3.6
1 kWh = 3.6 MJ
BTU → Joules
× 1055.06
10 BTU = 10,550.6 J
cal → Joules
× 4.18400
500 cal = 2,092 J
