What does joule per minute measure?

Joule per minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer or conversion over one minute, useful when averaging energy rates in minute intervals.

Why use foot pound-force per second as a unit?

Foot pound-force per second expresses mechanical power in imperial units, appropriate for contexts involving customary units of force and distance.

Can I use this conversion for high-speed power measurements?

Joule per minute is less suitable for rapid or real-time power data since it's based on minute-long averaging, making this conversion less ideal for such applications.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate power measurements from joule per minute (J/min) — a unit measuring energy transfer per minute — into foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s), an imperial unit expressing mechanical power. It's ideal for applications requiring conversion between minute-based SI energy rates and customary mechanical power units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in joule per minute (J/min) you want to convert
Select joule/minute as the input unit
Choose foot pound-force per second as the output unit
Click convert to get the equivalent value in ft·lbf/s
Review the result and use it for your mechanical or energy analysis

Key Features

Converts joule per minute (J/min) to foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s)
Uses precise conversion factor based on standard definitions
Supports power measurement needs in both SI and imperial units
Includes real-world examples for practical understanding
Ideal for mechanical engineering and calorimetry contexts

Examples

10 J/min converts to 0.122927025 ft·lbf/s by multiplying 10 with 0.0122927025
50 J/min converts to 0.614635125 ft·lbf/s by multiplying 50 with 0.0122927025

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat or energy release rates in small-scale chemical experiments using minute averages
Describing average power consumption of low-power devices aggregated over minutes
Expressing mechanical power outputs for hand tools or small engines in imperial units
Calculating power from torque and rotational speed in mechanical engineering
Converting between mechanical horsepower and SI watts for performance comparisons

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter when minute-based energy rates are more intuitive than second-based rates
Double-check units before and after conversion to ensure appropriate use
Be aware of the scale and context—joule/minute is suited for low power or averaged energy rates
Consider the difference in time bases (minute vs. second) in your calculations
Use the conversion factor provided without rounding excessively to maintain accuracy

Limitations

Joule per minute is less common than watts and may be less suitable for high-speed or real-time power data
Foot pound-force per second mainly serves imperial unit contexts and can complicate integration with SI units
Conversion involves fractional factors and different time bases, potentially introducing rounding errors
