What does petajoule per second measure?

Petajoule per second is a unit of power representing energy transfer, production, or consumption at a very large scale, equal to 10^15 joules per second.

When should I use foot pound-force per second?

Foot pound-force per second is used for expressing mechanical power when forces and distances are measured in imperial units, such as for tools or engines.

Is this tool suitable for small power measurements?

The tool works for converting from very large units to smaller units, but foot pound-force per second is primarily suited for relatively small mechanical power outputs.
