What does a centiwatt measure?

A centiwatt (cW) measures very low power levels, equal to one hundredth of a watt, commonly used to specify power consumption in ultra-low-power electronics.

When should I convert centiwatt to foot pound-force per hour?

Conversions are useful when translating small electrical power values into mechanical power units used in legacy imperial systems, such as for old motors or historical energy reports.

Is foot pound-force per hour a standard unit?

No, foot pound-force per hour is a non-SI unit used mainly for legacy engineering documentation and is less practical for modern precision power measurements.

Examples

2 Centiwatt = 2 × 26.552237374 = 53.104474748 Foot pound-force/hour
0.5 Centiwatt = 0.5 × 26.552237374 = 13.276118687 Foot pound-force/hour

Common Use Cases

Specifying power consumption for ultra-low-power electronic devices.
Expressing mechanical power rates for legacy imperial system equipment such as small motors.
Converting older power data from imperial units to modern SI units for comparison or updating.
Documenting energy work per hour in historical or field reports using imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool for low-power or small mechanical power ranges where centiwatt and foot pound-force/hour units apply.
Verify unit selections before conversion to ensure accurate context.
Apply results primarily for legacy documentation or comparison with modern power units.
Remember that foot pound-force per hour is less common and best suited to specific engineering or historical needs.

Limitations

Foot pound-force per hour is a non-SI and less commonly used unit, which may lead to rounding differences.
Conversions may not be suitable for high-precision modern power measurements.
The unit is primarily applicable for legacy equipment and historical data rather than contemporary power analysis.
