What does joule/hour measure in terms of power?

Joule per hour measures the rate of energy transfer over one hour, representing very low continuous power levels.

Why convert joule/hour to foot pound-force per second?

Conversion helps express power in imperial units common in mechanical contexts, facilitating engineering calculations involving force and displacement in feet and pounds-force.

Are there any challenges when converting between these units?

Yes, differences in unit systems and the time basis require careful interpretation to avoid errors, especially since joule/hour values are very small.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate power values from joule per hour (J/h), a unit reflecting energy transfer over one hour, into foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s), an imperial unit representing mechanical power. It is designed to assist with engineering calculations and energy balance conversions between SI and customary units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value expressed in joule per hour (J/h) in the input field.
Select the unit 'joule/hour [J/h]' as the input measurement.
Choose 'foot pound-force/second' as the output unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent power in ft·lbf/s.
Review the results and apply them to your mechanical or energy calculations.
