What does foot pound-force per hour measure?

It represents a unit of power showing one foot-pound-force of work performed every hour, commonly used with legacy imperial equipment.

Why convert foot pound-force/hour to calorie (IT)/hour?

The conversion helps translate mechanical power units into thermal power units, which is useful in calorimetry and heat transfer analysis.

Can this converter be used for high power applications?

No, this converter is designed for very small power values, as both units represent low-level power.
