What is a foot pound-force per second?

It is an imperial power unit that equals applying one pound-force over one foot per second, mainly used in mechanical contexts.

Why convert foot pound-force/second to centiwatt?

This conversion helps express mechanical power in a metric unit better suited for ultra-low-power devices and electronics.

Can centiwatt be used for high power measurements?

No, centiwatt is mainly used for very low-power levels and is not practical for comparing higher power systems without scaling.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from foot pound-force per second, an imperial mechanical power unit, into centiwatt, a metric subunit designed for very low-power systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Input the numerical value in foot pound-force per second that you want to convert.
Select foot pound-force/second as the source unit and centiwatt as the target unit.
Execute the conversion to obtain the equivalent power in centiwatt.

Key Features

Supports conversion from foot pound-force/second to centiwatt with clear numeric results.
Ideal for mechanical power expressed in imperial units and low-power electronic measurements.
Provides conversion using a fixed formula based on standard unit relationships.

Examples

2 foot pound-force/second converts to approximately 271.16 centiwatt.
0.5 foot pound-force/second converts to about 67.79 centiwatt.

Common Use Cases

Calculating small mechanical power outputs for hand tools or minor engines using imperial units.
Translating torque and rotational speed data from ft·lbf and rev/min to power measurements in cW.
Evaluating ultra-low-power electronic device consumption, sensor node power ratings, or energy harvesting outputs.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm that input values are expressed in foot pound-force per second before conversion.
Use the converted centiwatt values to compare mechanical power with low-power electronic standards.
Be mindful that centiwatt is suited for small power ranges and not high-power systems directly.

Limitations

Foot pound-force/second is an imperial unit not commonly adopted in standardized scientific fields.
Centiwatt unit is effective only for very low-power measurements and less appropriate for large power values.
Conversion accuracy relies on the adopted foot pound-force to watt unit relationship.
