What is a decijoule per second (dJ/s)?

A decijoule per second is an SI-derived unit of power equal to 0.1 watt, representing small power levels often used in scientific and engineering measurements.

Why convert dJ/s to foot pound-force per hour?

Converting helps relate small SI power measurements to legacy imperial units used in older equipment, engineering, or historical documentation.

Is foot pound-force per hour a commonly used unit?

It is a non-SI unit less common in modern practice, typically used in legacy systems for expressing very small mechanical power rates.

Examples

2 dJ/s is equivalent to approximately 531.0447 ft·lbf/hr
0.5 dJ/s converts to about 132.7612 ft·lbf/hr

Common Use Cases

Converting low-power electronic component ratings, such as sensors or microcontrollers
Describing thermal or acoustic power in small devices like LEDs or speakers during laboratory tests
Translating small-scale experimental energy rates for educational or research demonstrations
Expressing mechanical power for small motors or gear trains using legacy imperial units
Interpreting historical equipment specifications that use foot and pound-force units
Comparing or updating older imperial power measures to SI units in technical documents

Tips & Best Practices

Always check the unit selections before converting to ensure accuracy
Use the converter for small power quantities as it is designed for low power levels
Refer to the conversion formula for understanding the relationship between units
Be mindful of unit systems when interpreting results to avoid confusion, especially internationally
Use the tool for engineering, physics, or historical data comparisons involving power units

Limitations

Foot pound-force per hour is a non-SI unit and less commonly used today, which may cause misunderstandings
Conversion precision depends on constants and rounding; very small power calculations might be affected
Not suitable for very large power magnitudes, as it is intended for small power values
