What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values from kilocalorie (th)/minute, a unit measuring thermal energy transfer rates, into foot pound-force/hour, a mechanical power unit used mainly in imperial systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in kilocalorie (th)/minute that you want to convert.
Select kilocalorie (th)/minute as the source unit and foot pound-force/hour as the target unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent power in foot pound-force/hour.

Key Features

Converts thermal power units (kcal(th)/min) to mechanical power units (ft·lbf/hr).
Supports physiological, engineering, and legacy unit conversion needs.
Provides clear, precise conversion using the exact rate 1 kcal(th)/min = 185157.60195483 ft·lbf/hr.

Examples

Convert 2 kilocalorie (th)/minute: 2 × 185157.60195483 = 370315.20391 foot pound-force/hour.
Convert 0.5 kilocalorie (th)/minute: 0.5 × 185157.60195483 = 92578.80098 foot pound-force/hour.

Common Use Cases

Expressing human metabolic power or exercise energy expenditure values in physiology.
Rating heat output of small burners, grills, or laboratory heaters.
Converting imperial mechanical power values of small motors or gear trains in engineering documents.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the power value you convert relates to thermal energy transfer when using kilocalorie (th)/minute.
Use this converter to interpret or compare legacy data involving foot pound-force/hour units.
Remember the units represent different contexts: thermal vs. mechanical power; interpret results accordingly.

Limitations

Foot pound-force/hour is a non-SI unit and represents very small power measurements, limiting its use in high-power scenarios.
Kilocalorie (th)/minute measures thermal energy flow; direct conversion to mechanical power assumes related contexts which may not always match physically.
