Convert attojoule to inch-pound
Please provide values below to convert attojoule [aJ] to inch-pound [in*lbf], or Convert inch-pound to attojoule.
1 aJ = 8.8507e-18 in*lbf. To convert attojoule to inch-pound, multiply the value by 8.8507e-18; to go the other way, divide by it (1 in*lbf = 1.1298e+17 aJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aJ = 8.8507e-18 in*lbf
- 1 in*lbf = 1.1298e+17 aJ
- 10 aJ = 8.8507e-17 in*lbf

Attojoule
An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules.
History/Origin
The attojoule was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of energy, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and quantum physics, as the need to quantify very tiny energy scales grew.
Current Use
The attojoule is used in scientific research to measure minute energy quantities, such as in nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular biology, where energies involved are extremely small.
Inch-Pound
The inch-pound (in·lbf) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the force of one pound applied at the end of a one-inch lever arm.
History/Origin
The inch-pound has been used primarily in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, originating from the traditional use of inches and pounds in mechanical and engineering contexts, with its formal recognition dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical applications to measure torque and energy, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard.
