Norbar launches torque conversion calculator 'app'

Norbar Torque Tools has launched a handy torque conversion calculator as a free download on Android and iPhone systems. Similar to the calculator featured at www.norbar.com, the new app offers instant conversion across a full range of SI, metric and Imperial Units. Three different systems of measurement are all widely used and this app will make instant calculations between them from the largest to the smallest scales of measurement.

The widely used SI measurement of torque is the Newton metre (Nm), which is the level of torque resulting from the force of one Newton at a distance of one metre. This approximates to just over 0.1 Kgf.m (kilogram force metre) and 0.7 lbf.ft (pound force foot or foot pound).
