What does joule per minute measure?

Joule per minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer or conversion per minute, representing 1/60 of a watt.

Why is foot pound-force per hour considered a non-SI unit?

Because it uses imperial units of foot and pound-force and measures power per hour, it doesn't conform to the International System of Units.

When should I use this conversion between J/min and ft·lbf/hr?

Use it when converting small-scale energy or mechanical power measurements between metric and legacy imperial units, especially in engineering and historical contexts.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate power values expressed in joules per minute, a metric unit measuring energy transfer rate per minute, into foot pound-force per hour, an imperial unit representing mechanical work or energy transfer per hour.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in joule/minute.
Select joule/minute as the input unit and foot pound-force/hour as the output unit.
Click convert to get the equivalent power in foot pound-force/hour.

Key Features

Supports conversion between joule/minute and foot pound-force/hour units of power.
Provides a precise conversion factor linking SI and imperial units.
Useful for applications involving legacy systems and historical engineering data.

Examples

Convert 2 J/min: 2 × 44.2537289567 = 88.5074579134 ft·lbf/hr
Convert 0.5 J/min: 0.5 × 44.2537289567 = 22.12686447835 ft·lbf/hr

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat release or energy rates in small-scale chemical experiments measured per minute.
Describing power consumption of low-power sensors when aggregated over a minute.
Relating small mechanical power rates in legacy imperial-system equipment for engineering documentation.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter when needing to reconcile metric and imperial power units over different time scales.
Ensure consistency by double-checking the input units before conversion.
Apply the tool for contexts involving legacy systems or historical data referencing foot pound-force per hour.

Limitations

Foot pound-force per hour is a non-SI unit and less suitable for high-precision or real-time power analysis.
Conversion changes both unit systems and time scales, which may cause rounding errors.
Modern measurement often favors SI units with finer time granularity, limiting this unit's contemporary use.
