About Converting Nanonewton meters to Giganewton meters
Nanonewton meter and Giganewton 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: Nanonewton meter is 1e-9 newton meter units, and giganewton meter is 1000000000 newton meter units.
Formula
giganewton meters = nanonewton meters × 1e-18
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanonewton meter equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 giganewton meter equals 1000000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanonewton meter-to-giganewton meter factor of 1e-18.
Simple example
1 nN m × 1e-18 = 1e-18 GN m
1 nanonewton meter = 1e-18 giganewton meters.
Real-world example
10 nN m × 1e-18 = 1e-17 GN m
10 nanonewton meters = 1e-17 giganewton meters.
Conversion table
| Nanonewton meter (nN m) | Giganewton meter (GN m) |
|---|---|
| 1 nN m | 1e-18 GN m |
| 5 nN m | 5e-18 GN m |
| 10 nN m | 1e-17 GN m |
| 50 nN m | 5e-17 GN m |
| 100 nN m | 1e-16 GN m |
| 500 nN m | 5e-16 GN m |
Reverse conversion: Giganewton meter to Nanonewton meter
1e-18 GN m × 1e+18 = 1 nN m
1e-18 giganewton meters = 1 nanonewton meter.
nanonewton meters = giganewton meters × 1e+18
