What is a foot pound-force per hour unit?

It is a non-SI power unit representing one foot-pound-force of work done or energy transferred every hour, often used in legacy imperial-system engineering.

Why convert foot pound-force/hour to kilowatt?

Converting to kilowatt standardizes power measurements, allowing easy comparison, analysis, and integration with modern electrical and mechanical systems.

What should I watch for when converting these units?

Due to the small size of foot pound-force/hour compared to kilowatt, converted values are very small decimals requiring careful handling to avoid precision issues.
