What does dekawatt represent?

Dekawatt (daW) is a metric unit of power equal to 10 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or work done.

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

Pound-foot per hour is appropriate for expressing very low continuous mechanical power, particularly in legacy imperial unit contexts or historical mechanical equipment.

How do I perform the conversion from daW to lbf*ft/h?

Multiply the power value in dekawatt by 26552.23737402 to obtain the equivalent in pound-foot per hour.
