Torque Converter — kN·m ↔ ft-lb for Bucking Units

Shop procedures arrive in kN·m, connection datasheets in ft-lb, and the mismatch is where setup errors start. Convert either way, then see which WL model carries that value.

Conversion basis: 1 kN·m = 737.562 ft-lb = 1,000 N·m. Model coverage reflects Welong’s published WL rated makeup torque. A converted number is not a makeup spec — program the connection’s documented shop procedure, which for a shop buck-on can differ from the rig-floor figure.
