What is a dekawatt (daW)?

A dekawatt is a metric unit of power equal to 10 watts, representing the rate of energy transfer or work done per unit time.

When should I use foot pound-force per hour as a unit?

Use foot pound-force per hour when working with legacy imperial power measurements, historical records, or certain small mechanical power applications.

Can I use this conversion for high power levels?

No, foot pound-force per hour represents very small power values and is not suitable for high power applications.
