Why convert from foot pound-force/minute to gigajoule/second?

Converting allows translation of small mechanical power values measured in imperial units to standardized SI units suitable for large-scale power and energy analysis.

What contexts use gigajoule/second as a unit?

Gigajoule per second is used to express very large continuous power outputs such as those from power plants, industrial boilers, and large engines.

Are the converted values always easy to interpret?

No, the values can be extremely small and often require scientific notation for clear interpretation due to the large scale difference between the units.
