What does foot pound-force per minute measure?

It measures the mechanical power rate based on one foot-pound-force of work done per minute, commonly used in legacy imperial engineering.

Why convert foot pound-force/minute to kilojoule/second?

Converting to kilojoule/second standardizes power measurements into SI units, facilitating compatibility and precision in engineering and scientific work.

Is foot pound-force/minute suitable for all power measurements?

No, it is more appropriate for small mechanical power values and less practical for larger power measurements compared to kilojoule/second.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values measured in foot pound-force per minute, a traditional imperial unit, into kilojoule per second, an SI unit indicating power rate in thousands of joules per second. It helps convert small mechanical power measurements into standardized units widely used in engineering and industry.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value measured in foot pound-force per minute.
Select foot pound-force/minute as the source unit and kilojoule/second [kJ/s] as the target unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent power in kJ/s.
Use the result for your engineering or industrial power analysis needs.

Key Features

Converts foot pound-force per minute to kilojoule per second (kJ/s) accurately based on established conversion rates.
Supports legacy mechanical power measurements, especially from imperial or older engineering contexts.
Browser-based, simple interface suitable for quick power unit conversions.
Facilitates compatibility with SI units for analysis, reporting, and engineering calculations.

Examples

100 foot pound-force/minute converts to 0.0022597 kJ/s.
500 foot pound-force/minute converts to 0.0112985 kJ/s.

Common Use Cases

Reporting small mechanical powers in legacy imperial engineering documents by converting to standard SI units.
Estimating power output from measured torque values delivered at low rotational speeds expressed in minutes.
Quantifying power for small hand tools, manual winches, or low-power pumps using imperial units.
Rating electrical or mechanical power for appliances, motors, and generators in kilojoule/second terms.
Assessing thermal energy transfer rates in HVAC and boiler systems.
Specifying turbine and engine power output in industrial and power generation sectors.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the source unit to ensure accurate conversion, especially when working with legacy data.
Use this converter to standardize power measurements for compatibility with modern engineering and scientific standards.
Be cautious with very small values as the conversion factor is quite small and may cause rounding effects.
Prefer kilojoule/second for large power evaluations since foot pound-force/minute is less practical for those ranges.

Limitations

The foot pound-force/minute unit is non-SI and primarily used in specialized or legacy situations, which may confuse users unfamiliar with imperial units.
Conversion involves very small numbers that can introduce rounding errors if not handled carefully.
Not suitable for measuring or representing large power values due to its small scale compared to kilojoule/second.
