What does the unit joule/minute measure?

Joule per minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer or conversion per minute, useful for minute-scale averaging.

When is pound-foot per hour commonly used?

Pound-foot per hour is an imperial unit for very low continuous mechanical power, often found in legacy or historical equipment specifications.

Why might I need to convert between these units?

This conversion helps translate power values from metric minute-based measurements into imperial hourly mechanical work units for comparison in mixed unit contexts.
