What is a foot pound-force/hour?

It is a non-SI power unit representing one foot-pound-force of work performed or energy transferred every hour, often used for very small mechanical power in imperial units.

What does centijoule per second represent?

A centijoule per second is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a joule transferred each second, useful for expressing very small steady power levels in scientific and engineering fields.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate power values from the imperial unit foot pound-force per hour (ft·lbf/hr) to the SI-derived centijoule per second (cJ/s). It supports users working with legacy mechanical power data and small-scale modern power measurements in scientific and engineering contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in foot pound-force per hour (ft·lbf/hr)
Select the output unit as centijoule per second [cJ/s]
Click convert to view the equivalent power value in cJ/s
Use the result to compare or update designs and analyze low power systems

Key Features

Converts legacy foot pound-force/hour values to precise centijoule/second units
Supports understanding of very low power levels in both imperial and metric systems
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output
Ideal for engineering documentation and scientific measurement tasks

Examples

Convert 10 foot pound-force/hour to get 0.376616097 centijoule/second [cJ/s]
Convert 50 foot pound-force/hour to get 1.883080485 centijoule/second [cJ/s]

Common Use Cases

Expressing very small mechanical power in legacy imperial-system engineering documents
Describing mechanical work performed per hour in historical or field reports using foot and pound-force units
Converting older imperial power specifications to SI units for comparison or updating designs
Reporting power draw of low-power sensors, IoT nodes, or wearable devices
Characterizing small steady outputs in laboratory tests involving photodiodes or LEDs
Assessing energy harvested by micro-energy harvesters in prototype systems

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure unit scales and time bases are correctly applied when converting between these units
Use centijoule/second for more precise power representation in seconds rather than hourly rates
Refer to engineering documentation for context on when to employ these conversions
Double-check conversions when updating legacy reports to SI units for accuracy

Limitations

Foot pound-force/hour is a non-SI unit that measures low power over an hour, with less precision
Centijoule/second is SI-compatible and measures power per second, so conversion must account for time scale differences
Care is needed to avoid errors when analyzing instantaneous versus steady-state power levels
