What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, commonly used for heating or cooling capacities.

What is pound-foot/hour used for?

It is an imperial unit expressing very low mechanical power output, often in legacy equipment.

Why convert between these units?

To compare thermal energy rates with mechanical power in contexts like HVAC design or historical equipment evaluation.

What Is This Tool?

This tool helps convert power measurements from Btu (th)/minute, a thermal energy rate unit, to pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h], a mechanical work rate unit commonly used in imperial systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in Btu (th)/minute.
Select the desired output unit pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h].
Click convert to see the equivalent mechanical power measurement.

Key Features

Converts thermal power units to mechanical power units easily.
Includes example conversions for quick reference.
Supports legacy imperial unit conversions relevant to HVAC and industrial systems.

Examples

2 Btu (th)/minute equals approximately 93317.83824873 lbf*ft/h.
0.5 Btu (th)/minute converts to about 23329.45956218 lbf*ft/h.

Common Use Cases

Determining heating capacity in HVAC furnaces, boilers, and water heaters.
Rating heat exchangers and process heaters in industrial thermal systems.
Interpreting mechanical power output of vintage or legacy equipment specified in imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the tool to translate thermal rates into mechanical power for legacy comparisons.
Verify unit selections carefully to match the physical context of your measurement.
Refer to example conversions to validate your input and output values.

Limitations

Btu (th)/minute and pound-foot/hour represent different power types, thermal versus mechanical.
Conversions are mainly for comparative or legacy purposes, not direct physical equivalence.
Precision may vary due to differences in unit systems and rounding.
