What does joule per hour measure?

Joule per hour measures the rate of energy transfer or power where one joule of energy is transferred every hour.

Why convert joule/hour to pound-foot/hour?

Conversion is useful to express low mechanical power rates in imperial units, especially for legacy equipment or specific engineering tasks.

Can this conversion be used for high power applications?

No, this converter is intended for very low power rates measured over hours and may not provide accurate results for high power cases.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts power values from joule per hour, a metric unit representing energy transferred per hour, to pound-foot per hour, an imperial unit measuring mechanical work done per hour. It is designed to facilitate translating slow energy transfer rates into mechanical power units commonly used in older equipment and specific engineering fields.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in joule/hour [J/h] into the input field
Select the target unit as pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h]
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mechanical power
Review the converted value displayed on screen

Key Features

Supports conversion between joule/hour [J/h] and pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h]
Based on accurate conversion factor following established definitions
Ideal for low continuous power and legacy system applications
Browser-based and easy to use without any installations

Examples

Convert 10 joule/hour: 10 × 0.7375621493 = 7.375621493 pound-foot/hour
Convert 50 joule/hour: 50 × 0.7375621493 = 36.878107465 pound-foot/hour

Common Use Cases

Expressing very low continuous power or standby losses in small electronic devices
Converting long-duration energy measurements to instantaneous mechanical power rates
Documenting slow mechanical power in legacy clock or gear-train mechanisms
Estimating hand-crank or slow winch work rates for vintage machinery

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter for low-rate power values measured over hours to maintain relevance
Verify unit familiarity when working with imperial power units in modern contexts
Be aware that precision may be limited for high power values or fast measurements
