What does millijoule per second measure?

Millijoule per second measures power, representing one thousandth of a joule transferred or converted per second, commonly used for low-power systems.

Why convert millijoule per second to foot pound-force per hour?

Converting to foot pound-force per hour helps translate low-power readings into imperial units useful for legacy equipment and historical engineering documentation.

Are there limitations when using foot pound-force per hour units?

Yes, it is a non-SI unit with possible rounding errors and may be less precise, especially when used for higher power values or in mixed unit scenarios.
