What does 1 kilojoule/hour represent?

It represents a power unit measuring energy transfer of 1,000 joules delivered or consumed every hour.

How is foot pound-force/second defined?

It is an imperial power unit equal to one pound-force applied through a one-foot displacement every second.

Why convert kilojoule/hour to foot pound-force/second?

Users convert to express power values in mechanical imperial units commonly used for small engines, hand tools, or torque-speed calculations.

Examples

Convert 5 kilojoule/hour to foot pound-force/second: 5 kJ/h × 0.2048783748 = 1.024391874 ft·lbf/s
Convert 10 kilojoule/hour to foot pound-force/second: 10 kJ/h × 0.2048783748 = 2.048783748 ft·lbf/s

Common Use Cases

Expressing heating or cooling power rates in building physics using imperial units
Calculating mechanical power for small engines and hand tools in customary units
Performing mechanical engineering calculations involving torque and rotational speed
Converting metabolic energy expenditures from hourly to mechanical power units
Analyzing laboratory calorimetry data with energy rates across unit systems

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the input value is in kilojoule per hour before conversion
Understand that kilojoule/hour measures energy per hour, while foot pound-force/second measures power per second
Use this converter when working with small-to-moderate power rates in imperial units
Cross-check results when integrating with scientific data typically using watts or joules per second

Limitations

Conversion requires careful attention to the difference in time basis between units (hour vs. second)
Foot pound-force/second is less commonly used in scientific contexts that prefer watts or joules per second
This tool does not provide conversion for units outside kilojoule/hour or foot pound-force/second
