About Kilonewton-meter (kN·m)
A metric unit of torque equal to 1,000 newton-meters. Kilonewton-meters are used for large-scale engineering: industrial turbines, large diesel engines (ship propulsion, locomotives), wind-turbine main shaft torque (a modern 5 MW wind turbine produces ~3,800 kN·m), structural moments on reinforced concrete beams, and crankshaft loads in heavy equipment. Structural design codes (Eurocode, ASCE) use kN·m for bending moments.
About Newton-meter (N·m)
The SI unit of torque (moment of force), equal to the twisting effect of one newton applied at the end of a one-meter lever. Newton-meters are the universal engineering unit for tightening specifications on bolts and fasteners, automobile engine output (a typical compact car: 150–300 N·m), and electric motor ratings. Virtually all modern torque wrenches display N·m as at least one of their units, and international service manuals specify fastener torque in N·m.
