newton millimeter to newton centimeter
Convert newton millimeter (N·mm) to newton centimeter (N·cm). Use an editable torque converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 N·mm = 0.1 N·cm
Conversion formula
One newton millimeter equals 0.1 newton centimeter. Multiply your value in newton millimeter by this factor to get newton centimeter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 newton millimeter:5 × 0.1 = 0.5 N·cm

About these measurements
Torque describes a force’s turning effect around an axis.
The base reference used here is the newton meter. One newton millimeter is 0.001 base units; one newton centimeter is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert N·mm to N·cm?
Multiply the quantity in N·mm by 0.1. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the newton centimeter to newton millimeter converter.
