What Is an Ounce-inch?
An ounce-inch is a unit of torque equal to 0.0070616 newton-meters (N·m), the base unit for torque. 1/16 of a pound-inch (0.0070616 N·m). [1]
The ounce-inch is classified as a US customary and imperial unit of torque. Ounce-inches can be abbreviated as oz·in; for example, 1 ounce-inch can be written as 1 oz·in.
When working with ounce-inches (oz·in) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, ounce-inches (oz·in) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale torque measurements within US customary and imperial workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Newton-meter?
Coherent SI unit of rotational torque. It serves as a primary reference unit for measuring torque across scientific and practical applications. [2]
The newton-meter is classified as an International System of Units (SI) unit of torque. Newton-meters can be abbreviated as N·m; for example, 1 newton-meter can be written as 1 N·m.
As the primary coherent reference unit for torque in this category, all other torque units are mathematically anchored to the newton-meter (N·m).
In practice, newton-meters (N·m) are widely used across standard torque applications within International System of Units (SI) workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting torque between ounce-inches (oz·in) and newton-meters (N·m), keep full floating-point precision (1 oz·in = 0.0070616 N·m; 1 N·m = 141.6119327 oz·in) during intermediate calculations and round only the final newton-meter figure to match your instrument tolerance.
