About Converting Nanonewton meters to Petanewton meters
Nanonewton meter and Petanewton 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 petanewton meter is 1000000000000000 newton meter units.
Formula
petanewton meters = nanonewton meters × 1e-24
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 petanewton meter equals 1e+15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanonewton meter-to-petanewton meter factor of 1e-24.
Simple example
1 nN m × 1e-24 = 1e-24 PN m
1 nanonewton meter = 1e-24 petanewton meters.
Real-world example
10 nN m × 1e-24 = 1e-23 PN m
10 nanonewton meters = 1e-23 petanewton meters.
Conversion table
| Nanonewton meter (nN m) | Petanewton meter (PN m) |
|---|---|
| 1 nN m | 1e-24 PN m |
| 5 nN m | 5e-24 PN m |
| 10 nN m | 1e-23 PN m |
| 50 nN m | 5e-23 PN m |
| 100 nN m | 1e-22 PN m |
| 500 nN m | 5e-22 PN m |
Reverse conversion: Petanewton meter to Nanonewton meter
1e-24 PN m × 1e+24 = 1 nN m
1e-24 petanewton meters = 1 nanonewton meters.
nanonewton meters = petanewton meters × 1e+24
