What does calorie (th)/second measure?

Calorie (th)/second measures thermal power equal to the transfer of one thermochemical calorie of energy per second.

What is pound-foot/minute used for?

Pound-foot/minute is an imperial mechanical power unit representing work done by a one pound-force moving one foot in one minute.

Why convert calorie (th)/second to pound-foot/minute?

Users convert to integrate thermal power data with imperial mechanical power ratings, enabling comparisons and equipment specifications across measurement systems.

Examples

Convert 2 calorie (th)/second: 2 × 185.1576019548 = 370.3152039096 pound-foot/minute
Convert 0.5 calorie (th)/second: 0.5 × 185.1576019548 = 92.5788009774 pound-foot/minute

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat flow in laboratory calorimetry experiments
Specifying small heating element or burner power in historical engineering data
Translating thermal power data into SI units for HVAC or process engineering
Converting torque and rotational speed into power for small motors in imperial units
Comparing mechanical power ratings with horsepower using pound-foot/minute

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that calorie (th)/second measures thermal power while pound-foot/minute measures mechanical power
Use conversion values carefully when comparing legacy data with modern units
Verify the context of power data to interpret results accurately
Use this converter to bridge between thermal energy transfer and mechanical work rates

Limitations

These units represent different types of power, so conversions require contextual understanding
Interpret results cautiously as thermal and mechanical powers are physically distinct
High-precision conversion factors may introduce rounding errors
Legacy definitions may not align perfectly with current SI standards
