What is a foot pound-force per minute?

It is a non-SI unit of power representing one foot-pound-force of work done every minute, commonly used to measure small mechanical power in imperial systems.

What does a terawatt measure?

A terawatt (TW) is an SI unit of power equal to one trillion watts, used to express very large energy transfer rates such as national electricity production or astrophysical phenomena.

Why convert foot pound-force/minute to terawatts?

This conversion helps scale very small mechanical power units into extremely large SI powers for contexts like national energy assessments or astrophysical studies.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform power measurements from foot pound-force per minute, a small mechanical power unit commonly used in imperial engineering, into terawatts (TW), which quantify immense power levels such as national electricity generation or astrophysical outputs.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in foot pound-force per minute you want to convert
Select the input unit as foot pound-force/minute and output unit as terawatt [TW]
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent power expressed in terawatts
Use the result to understand scale differences between small mechanical power and very large energy rates

Key Features

Converts mechanical power from foot pound-force/minute to terawatts accurately
Supports scaling from legacy imperial units to modern SI power units
Browser-based and easy to use for engineers and energy analysts
Displays conversion results for extremely large power magnitudes
Useful for bridging mechanical measurements with global or astrophysical power contexts

Examples

100 foot pound-force/minute equals approximately 2.2597e-12 terawatts
1,000,000 foot pound-force/minute converts to about 2.2597e-8 terawatts

Common Use Cases

Reporting small mechanical power in imperial units and comparing with large SI power units
Estimating power output from torque applied at low rotational speeds with minute intervals
Scaling mechanical power data to national or global energy generation levels
Expressing huge energy outputs in astrophysics with respect to mechanical power data

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion primarily for conceptual scaling rather than precise intermediate-range calculations
Remember that the resulting values are typically very small due to the vast difference in unit scales
Apply the converter to bridge legacy engineering records with modern global or astrophysical power assessments

Limitations

Conversion results tend to be extremely small numbers due to the wide unit difference
Not suitable for accurate intermediate power measurement conversions
Primarily conceptual or comparative rather than practical for routine engineering use
