What does 1 picojoule per second represent?

It defines a power unit equal to 10⁻¹² watts, used to measure extremely small continuous power, especially in microelectronics and photonics.

How is foot pound-force per hour defined?

It is a non-SI power unit representing one foot pound-force of work done or energy transferred in an hour, approximately 3.766×10⁻⁴ watts.

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

This helps connect modern low-level power measurements with older mechanical power units used in legacy engineering systems and historical documents.

Select picojoule/second as your input unit
Choose foot pound-force per hour (ft·lbf/hr) as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent power in foot pound-force/hour
Review the result and use provided examples to verify accuracy

Key Features

Converts between picojoule/second and foot pound-force/hour accurately
Supports power units relevant to micro/nanoelectronics and mechanical engineering
Provides simple, browser-based interface for quick unit transformation
Displays conversion examples for user guidance
Facilitates comparison of modern and legacy power specifications

Examples

Convert 10 pJ/s to foot pound-force/hour results in 2.655223737402e-8 ft·lbf/hr
Convert 1000 pJ/s to foot pound-force/hour results in 2.655223737402e-6 ft·lbf/hr

Common Use Cases

Specifying ultra-low power consumption in microcontrollers and sensors
Reporting optical power in sensitive photonics detectors
Expressing energy usage per operation in low-energy digital circuits
Documenting small mechanical power for legacy imperial-system equipment
Translating older imperial power specs to SI units for engineering updates

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct selection of input and output units before converting
Use small power values carefully to avoid confusion with precision limits
Note differences in time basis when comparing units (per second vs. per hour)
Refer to examples to confirm conversions are consistent with expectations
Use this tool to bridge modern microelectronics measurements with legacy reports

Limitations

Foot pound-force/hour is a non-SI unit rarely used in present-day science
Conversion results involve very small values which may challenge measurement precision
Understanding power units requires attention to differing time units used in definitions
