What is a pound-foot per minute?

It is an imperial unit of mechanical power representing a force of one pound-force moving through one foot in one minute.

Where is Pferdestärke (PS) commonly used?

Pferdestärke is commonly used in German-speaking countries for automotive and machinery power ratings.

Can this tool convert large-scale power units accurately?

This conversion tool is designed mainly for small-scale or low-power measurements, as both units are non-SI and suited to specific legacy applications.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert power measurements expressed in pound-foot per minute (lbf·ft/min), an imperial unit, into Pferdestärke (ps), a metric horsepower unit traditionally used in Germany and surrounding regions. It facilitates translating mechanical power data between legacy and metric systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in pound-foot per minute into the input field.
Select pound-foot/minute as the original unit and Pferdestärke (ps) as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent value displayed in Pferdestärke.
Use the result to compare or specify power ratings across imperial and metric systems.

Key Features

Converts power units from pound-foot/minute to Pferdestärke (ps) accurately using established conversion factors.
Supports power measurement translations between imperial legacy engineering and metric automotive standards.
Easy-to-use interface suitable for comparing engine and machine power ratings across regions.
Browser-based tool with quick conversion results for mechanical power values.
Accommodates conversions useful for automotive, industrial machinery, and repair applications.

Examples

Converting 10 pound-foot per minute yields 0.000307233 Pferdestärke (ps).
Converting 1000 pound-foot per minute results in 0.0307233 Pferdestärke (ps).

Common Use Cases

Expressing small shaft or rotary power in legacy imperial engineering specifications.
Converting torque and speed measurements into power during testing of hand tools or small motors.
Comparing engine power ratings in machines where horsepower and Pferdestärke units coexist.
Presenting vehicle engine power in car brochures, repair manuals, and resale listings within Europe.
Translating regional or historical power units in automotive and industrial equipment contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values are accurate to obtain reliable conversion results.
Remember that both pound-foot/minute and Pferdestärke are non-SI units; consider local standards when applying conversions.
Use the tool primarily for small-scale or low-power applications consistent with the units' typical usage.
Double-check conversions when specifying power ratings for machinery intended for international markets.

Limitations

Pound-foot/minute is a legacy, non-SI unit mainly suited for low-power or small-scale scenarios.
Pferdestärke (PS) is also non-SI and primarily used regionally in German-speaking areas.
Conversions should be interpreted carefully considering regional preferences and standards.
Accuracy depends on strict adherence to provided conversion factors without rounding assumptions.
