What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert mechanical power expressed in pound-foot per hour, an imperial unit, into MBH, a thermal power unit widely used in HVAC systems. It helps translate low-level mechanical power rates into heating capacity ratings.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in pound-foot per hour (lbf*ft/h) you want to convert.
  • Choose MBH as the target unit for heat output rating.
  • Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent value in MBH instantly.

Key Features

  • Converts pound-foot/hour (lbf*ft/h) to MBH accurately using established conversion rates.
  • Supports legacy imperial mechanical power unit translation to HVAC heating units.
  • Ideal for analyzing low-output mechanical devices and historical equipment data.
  • Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output options.

Examples

  • 1000 pound-foot/hour equals approximately 0.00128507 MBH.
  • 50000 pound-foot/hour is about 0.064253 MBH.

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing very low continuous mechanical output values in legacy imperial units.
  • Documenting and converting specifications of vintage or historical machinery.
  • Estimating mechanical power rates of hand-crank or slow mechanical devices.
  • Rating furnace, boiler, or water-heater capacity in HVAC systems using MBH.
  • Sizing heating and cooling loads for building energy calculations and equipment design.
  • Specifying heat exchanger or burner output during mechanical system planning.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure values entered are accurate to avoid very small decimal conversion errors.
  • Understand that MBH represents thermal power, so mechanical power comparisons require context.
  • Use this conversion for low-output devices or historical data analysis for best results.
  • Take care when interpreting very small MBH results due to the small conversion factor.

Limitations

  • Pound-foot/hour units are very small compared to MBH, causing small decimal results that need careful handling.
  • MBH measures thermal power; mechanical power in pound-foot/hour is directly comparable only under heat generation scenarios with proper assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound-foot/hour (lbf*ft/h) measure?
It is an imperial unit of power representing one foot-pound force of work done per hour, mainly for mechanical work rates.

What is MBH used for?
MBH is a non-SI unit used to express heating power, especially in HVAC to rate furnaces, boilers, and heat exchangers.

Why are conversions from pound-foot/hour to MBH often very small?
Because pound-foot/hour represents a very low mechanical power while MBH quantifies thermal power typically much larger in scale.

Key Terminology

Pound-foot per hour (lbf·ft/h)
An imperial power unit equal to one foot-pound force of work done per hour, used for mechanical power measurements.
MBH
A non-SI unit equal to 1,000 British thermal units per hour, commonly used in HVAC to express heating power.
British thermal unit (BTU)
A unit of heat defined as the amount of energy needed to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
