What does foot pound-force per minute measure?

It measures the rate of doing mechanical work using imperial units, indicating power based on foot-pounds performed each minute.

Where is Pferdestärke (PS) commonly used?

PS is traditionally used in German-speaking countries to indicate mechanical power, especially in automotive specifications.

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

Converting helps to express old imperial power ratings into a metric horsepower unit familiar in certain European markets, aiding comparison.

Is Pferdestärke (PS) an SI unit?

No, PS is not an SI unit but remains widely used in regional contexts for power ratings.
