What does joule/second/square meter measure?

It measures the thermal power flow rate per unit area, quantifying heat flux density or irradiance in metric units.

Why convert to foot pound/minute/square foot?

This conversion helps interpret heat flux density in imperial units commonly used in U.S. legacy engineering and HVAC documentation.

Is the conversion exact for all practical purposes?

While based on a defined conversion factor, differences in unit bases and measurement conditions mean small rounding errors can occur.
