What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms power values from kilojoule per hour (kJ/h), an SI unit representing energy transfer rates over an hour, into pound-foot per hour (lbf*ft/h), an imperial unit used to measure mechanical work done per hour.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in kilojoule per hour (kJ/h) you want to convert.
Select the source unit as kilojoule/hour (kJ/h).
Choose the target unit as pound-foot/hour (lbf*ft/h).
Click convert to get the equivalent power in pound-foot per hour.
Review and use the converted value for your application.

Key Features

Converts power from kilojoule/hour (kJ/h) to pound-foot/hour (lbf*ft/h).
Uses a precise conversion factor of 1 kJ/h = 737.5621492783 lbf*ft/h.
Supports understanding of low-rate energy and mechanical power measurements.
Helps bridge measurement units between SI and imperial systems.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions.

Examples

Convert 2 kJ/h to pound-foot/hour: 2 × 737.5621492783 = 1475.1243 lbf*ft/h.
Convert 0.5 kJ/h to pound-foot/hour: 0.5 × 737.5621492783 = 368.7811 lbf*ft/h.

Common Use Cases

Expressing small heating or cooling rates in building physics applications.
Reporting metabolic energy expenditure per hour during exercise.
Laboratory calorimetry and low-rate heat-transfer measurements.
Describing low mechanical power outputs in legacy imperial units for machinery.
Specifying power requirements for historical or vintage equipment.
Converting hand-crank or slow winch work power rates from imperial to SI.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter for low-rate power measurements rather than instantaneous or high-power values.
Be mindful of differences between SI and imperial units to avoid errors.
Check unit selections carefully before converting.
Use conversion results to understand legacy equipment or comparative energy usage across unit systems.

Limitations

Best suited for low magnitude, hourly interval power measurements.
May not provide accurate results for instantaneous or high-power scenarios.
Conversions involve rounding and unit system discrepancies between SI and imperial units.
