A dekawatt (daW) is a metric power unit equal to 10 watts, used to measure energy transfer rate or work done per unit time.

How is pound-foot per minute defined?

Pound-foot per minute is an imperial mechanical power unit showing work done when one pound-force moves one foot in one minute.

When should I convert dekawatt to pound-foot per minute?

You convert when you need to translate metric power units into imperial units, often for legacy equipment or comparing to horsepower.
