What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change moment of inertia values from pound square inch to pound square foot. Both units measure mass moment of inertia in the Imperial system, used to quantify an object's resistance to angular acceleration.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in pound square inch (lb*in^2) that you want to convert.
  • Select pound square foot (lb*ft^2) as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent moment of inertia value.

Key Features

  • Converts mass moment of inertia values between pound square inch and pound square foot.
  • Supports units commonly used in mechanical and structural engineering.
  • Browser-based tool that is simple and quick to use.

Examples

  • Convert 10 lb*in^2 to lb*ft^2: 10 × 0.0069444444 = 0.069444444 lb*ft^2
  • Convert 100 lb*in^2 to lb*ft^2: 100 × 0.0069444444 = 0.69444444 lb*ft^2

Common Use Cases

  • Engineering calculations for rotational inertia of small shafts, gears, and couplings in Imperial units.
  • Specifying inertia of flywheels, rotors, and machinery components in mechanical design using English units.
  • Analyzing dynamic response, torsional behavior, and vibration in structures and rotating equipment.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent use of pound-mass rather than pound-force in your calculations.
  • Use this conversion when scaling inertia values from small parts measured in inches to larger assemblies in feet.
  • Double-check unit consistency when integrating with other measurement systems.

Limitations

  • Must distinguish between pound-mass and pound-force to avoid errors.
  • Conversion assumes proper handling of mass moment of inertia without mixing force units.
  • Accuracy depends on using the exact conversion factor and consistent unit systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound square inch (lb*in^2) measure?
It measures mass moment of inertia, indicating an object's resistance to angular acceleration, using pounds as mass and square inches as the distance squared.

Why convert from pound square inch to pound square foot?
Conversion is useful when expressing inertia for larger components or assemblies where feet-based units better fit mechanical design standards.

How is the conversion performed?
Multiply the value in pound square inch by 0.0069444444 to get the equivalent value in pound square foot.

Key Terminology

Pound Square Inch (lb*in^2)
A unit of mass moment of inertia in Imperial units, equal to one pound mass times one square inch.
Pound Square Foot (lb*ft^2)
An English Engineering unit measuring mass moment of inertia as pounds of mass times square feet.
Mass Moment of Inertia
A property that quantifies an object's resistance to angular acceleration around an axis.
