The units for torque, as you stated, are Newton-meters. Although this is algebraically the same units as Joules, Joules are generally not appropriate units for torque.
Torque Calculation. Torque is defined as: The measure of the force applied to produce rotational motion (usually measured in foot-pounds). Torque is determined by multiplying the applied force by the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied.1  In the English system, torque is measured in foot-pounds or inch-pounds. 2  In the Metric system, torque is measured in Newton-meters. 3  8.851 inch-pounds = 1 Newton-meter.orque is determined by multiplying the applied force by the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied. 1  In the English system, torque is measured in foot-pounds or inch-pounds.
