What does pound-foot per minute measure?

It measures mechanical power as the rate of doing work when a force of one pound-force moves through one foot in one minute.

Why convert pound-foot/minute to microjoule/second?

Converting helps relate imperial mechanical power measurements to very small power levels common in electronic and optical systems.

Is microjoule per second an SI unit?

Yes, microjoule per second is a metric unit representing power equal to one microjoule of energy transferred per second (equal to one microwatt).
