Unit Definitions & Metrology Context

The standard SI unit of torque is the newton-meter (N·m), defined as the moment resulting from a one-newton force applied perpendicularly to a one-meter moment arm.

About Newton-meters (N·m): Newton-meter (N·m) is a unit in the Torque measurement category. It is widely used in si metric standard. The newton-meter (N·m) serves as the primary reference base unit for the torque domain.

About Kilonewton-meters (kN·m): Kilonewton-meter (kN·m) is a unit in the Torque measurement category. It is widely used in heavy industrial, wind turbines & structural. Relative to the torque base unit, 1 kN·m equals 1000 Newton-meters (N·m).
