About Converting Centinewton meters to Teranewton meters
Centinewton meter and Teranewton meter both measure torque, and the conversion is essential for anyone using a torque wrench specified in one unit against a bolt or engine spec given in the other. Specifically: Centinewton meter is 0.01 newton meter units, and teranewton meter is 1000000000000 newton meter units.
Formula
teranewton meters = centinewton meters × 1e-14
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centinewton meter equals 0.01 base units, and 1 teranewton meter equals 1e+12 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centinewton meter-to-teranewton meter factor of 1e-14.
Simple example
1 cN m × 1e-14 = 1e-14 TN m
1 centinewton meter = 1e-14 teranewton meters.
Real-world example
10 cN m × 1e-14 = 1e-13 TN m
10 centinewton meters = 1e-13 teranewton meters.
Conversion table
| Centinewton meter (cN m) | Teranewton meter (TN m) |
|---|---|
| 1 cN m | 1e-14 TN m |
| 5 cN m | 5e-14 TN m |
| 10 cN m | 1e-13 TN m |
| 50 cN m | 5e-13 TN m |
| 100 cN m | 1e-12 TN m |
| 500 cN m | 5e-12 TN m |
Reverse conversion: Teranewton meter to Centinewton meter
1e-14 TN m × 1e+14 = 1 cN m
1e-14 teranewton meters = 1 centinewton meter.
centinewton meters = teranewton meters × 1e+14
