What does foot pound-force per second measure?

It measures mechanical power as the work done by one pound-force applied over a one-foot displacement every second.

Why use joule per minute instead of watts?

Joule per minute expresses power averaged over a minute, which can be useful for applications involving gradual energy changes or minute-scale measurements.

Can this conversion be used for all power measurements?

This conversion is best suited for specific contexts like mechanical power in imperial units or experiments where energy rates are averaged per minute.

Enter the power value in foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s).
Select the target unit as joule per minute [J/min].
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent power in joule/minute.

Key Features

Converts between foot pound-force/second and joule/minute units accurately.
Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick power unit conversions.
Supports applications in mechanical engineering, calorimetry, and low-power device energy reporting.

Examples

Convert 2 foot pound-force/second to joule/minute: 2 × 81.3490768998 = 162.6981537996 J/min.
Convert 0.5 foot pound-force/second to joule/minute: 0.5 × 81.3490768998 = 40.6745384499 J/min.

Common Use Cases

Specifying small mechanical power outputs for hand tools or small engines using imperial units.
Calculating mechanical power from torque and rotational speed in engineering contexts.
Reporting heat release or energy release rates in calorimetry or chemical experiments measured over minutes.
Monitoring power consumption in low-power electronic sensors by average energy use per minute.

Tips & Best Practices

Double-check unit selections to ensure accurate conversions between imperial and metric systems.
Use this converter for power values where averaging over a minute is preferable to per second measurements.
Be aware of the conversion factor and apply proper precision to maintain result accuracy.
Consider the context to decide if joule per minute is suitable, especially when instantaneous power readings are needed.

Limitations

Foot pound-force per second is an imperial unit, requiring careful conversion to metric units.
Joule per minute averages power over a minute, making it less appropriate for instantaneous power measurements.
Non-integer conversion factors can introduce rounding errors if not handled carefully.
