What does foot pound-force per minute measure?

It measures the rate of doing mechanical work, representing one foot-pound-force of work done each minute.

How is foot pound-force per hour different from foot pound-force per minute?

Foot pound-force per hour measures the energy transfer or work done every hour, making it an expression of smaller power rates compared to per minute.

Why convert from foot pound-force/minute to foot pound-force/hour?

To express mechanical power over longer time intervals, which is useful for reporting, comparison, and legacy documentation where hourly rates are standard.

Key Features

Converts power units from foot pound-force per minute to foot pound-force per hour.
Supports measurement of small mechanical power values in imperial units.
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation.
Helps facilitate reporting and comparison of power over different time intervals.

Examples

2 foot pound-force/minute converts to 120 foot pound-force/hour.
0.5 foot pound-force/minute is equal to 30 foot pound-force/hour.

Common Use Cases

Reporting small mechanical power in legacy imperial engineering documents.
Analyzing mechanical work rates for hand-tools, manual winches, or low-power pumps.
Comparing or updating older imperial power specifications to align with SI standards.
Describing hourly energy transfer or work in field or historical reports.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify consistent time units when performing conversions to maintain accuracy.
Use this tool to convert power values before comparing with SI units like watts.
Apply conversions to better align legacy data with modern engineering documentation.
Remember that these units are suited for representing very small power quantities.

Limitations

Units involved are non-SI and represent very small mechanical power levels.
Conversion accuracy depends on precise time unit definitions.
Less common in current engineering practice where SI units prevail.
May require conversion to watts for broader compatibility with modern systems.
