Limitations
-
Foot pound-force per minute is non-SI and conversions may introduce rounding errors in very precise contexts.
-
Large conversion factors may affect numerical precision in digital calculations.
-
Femtojoule-level power units are mainly relevant in specialized scientific areas, not general mechanical engineering.
