Conversion Formula
The conversion formula from foot-pounds to inch-pounds is: in = ftlbs × 12. This works because one foot equals twelve inches, so torque measured in foot-pounds can be directly converted by multiplying by 12 to get inch-pounds. For example, 1 ftlb equals 12 in.
Mathematically, if you have a torque of X foot-pounds, then in inches it becomes X × 12. This is because the torque’s length component is scaled by the conversion factor between feet and inches, ensuring the measurement is accurate in the new unit.
Conversion Example
- Convert 250 ftlbs to in:
- Multiply 250 by 12
- 250 × 12 = 3000 in
- Result: 250 ftlbs equals 3000 in
- Convert 100 ftlbs to in:
- Multiply 100 by 12
- 100 × 12 = 1200 in
- Result: 100 ftlbs equals 1200 in
- Convert 600 ftlbs to in:
- Multiply 600 by 12
- 600 × 12 = 7200 in
- Result: 600 ftlbs equals 7200 in
- Convert 350 ftlbs to in:
- Multiply 350 by 12
- 350 × 12 = 4200 in
- Result: 350 ftlbs equals 4200 in
- Convert 400 ftlbs to in:
- Multiply 400 by 12
- 400 × 12 = 4800 in
- Result: 400 ftlbs equals 4800 in

Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from 475 ftlbs to in?
The conversion from foot-pounds to inches is precise because it is a straightforward multiplication by 12. However, real-world measurements may vary slightly due to measurement methods or instrument calibration, but mathematically, the calculation is exact.
Can I convert other torque units to inches using this formula?
This specific formula applies only to foot-pounds because it uses the length conversion between feet and inches. For other units like Newton-meters, different conversion factors are required, making this formula invalid outside the foot-pound context.
What tools do I need to convert foot-pounds to inches manually?
All you need is a calculator and the conversion factor of 12. Simply multiply the number of foot-pounds by 12, and you get the equivalent in inches. It’s a simple multiplication but requires attention to units to avoid errors.
