What is a millijoule per second (mJ/s)?

A millijoule per second is a unit of power equal to 0.001 joules per second or 0.001 watt, commonly used to measure low-power energy transfer rates.

What does pound-foot per hour (lbf*ft/h) represent?

It is an imperial unit of power indicating one foot-pound force of work done per hour, used mainly to express very low mechanical output in legacy systems.

Why convert from millijoule/second to pound-foot/hour?

Converting helps translate modern low-power measurements into imperial units for compatibility with older equipment and documentation that use foot-pound force ratings.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows users to translate power values from millijoule per second (mJ/s), a metric unit for very low power, into pound-foot per hour (lbf*ft/h), an imperial unit typically used for small mechanical work rates. It's useful for converting between modern low-power measurements and legacy or imperial units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in millijoule per second (mJ/s) you wish to convert
Select millijoule/second as the input unit
Choose pound-foot/hour as the output unit
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in lbf*ft/h

Key Features

Converts millijoule/second (mJ/s) to pound-foot/hour (lbf*ft/h) accurately
Supports low power measurement conversions common in electronics and mechanical systems
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
Helps interpret power rates for vintage equipment and low-power devices

Examples

5 mJ/s converts to 13.276118687 lbf*ft/h
0.1 mJ/s converts to 0.26552237374 lbf*ft/h

Common Use Cases

Specifying power consumption in low-power electronic devices like sensors and wearables
Measuring optical output in laboratory lasers and LEDs with low energy output
Estimating slow mechanical work rates for clocks or gear-train mechanisms in legacy systems
Translating low-power electronic or thermal rates to imperial mechanical power units for historical equipment

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the units selected to ensure correct conversion direction
Use the tool for small power magnitudes as it focuses on low-power ranges
Cross-check results when applying to critical legacy system specifications
Understand the context and rare usage of pound-foot/hour to interpret results appropriately

Limitations

Suitable only for very low power values; larger powers may require other units
Pound-foot/hour is uncommon and less intuitive in modern applications
Conversion precision may suffer due to rounding in very low magnitude values
Mostly applicable for legacy equipment or specific scientific measurements
