What does foot pound-force/hour measure?

It measures power as mechanical work done or energy transferred of one foot pound-force performed every hour, representing a non-SI unit of power.

Why convert foot pound-force/hour to attojoule/second?

Converting allows expressing very small mechanical power values in an ultra-fine SI unit, which is helpful in advanced scientific and engineering analysis of minute energy rates.

Where is this conversion commonly used?

It is used in fields like microelectronics, quantum computing, cryogenic research, nanoscale thermal measurements, and documenting legacy small machinery.

Examples

2 foot pound-force/hour converts to 753232193516360 aJ/s by multiplying 2 by 376616096758180.
0.5 foot pound-force/hour equals 188308048379090 aJ/s using the conversion factor.

Common Use Cases

Expressing very low mechanical power values from legacy imperial units in precise SI units for engineering records.
Analyzing power leakage, standby consumption, or quiescent power in ultra-low-power microelectronic sensors and IoT devices.
Measuring energy transfer in quantum computing components like superconducting qubits and single-photon detectors.
Quantifying minute heat flows in cryogenic and nanoscale thermal metrology experiments.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify which unit system is suitable for your application before converting between imperial and SI units.
Use this conversion to handle very small power values more effectively with scientific units like aJ/s.
Be cautious interpreting large numerical results due to the difference in scale between foot pound-force/hour and attojoule/second.
Ensure precise input values as small errors can significantly impact results when working with minute power units.

Limitations

The foot pound-force/hour unit is much larger than the attojoule/second, which can lead to extremely large converted values that may be difficult to interpret.
Conversion precision can be affected by the constants used and the challenge of measuring very low power levels practically.
