What does pound-foot per second measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer, defined by one pound-force foot of work done each second.

Why use joule per minute instead of watts?

Joule per minute is useful when it is convenient to express energy transfer rates over minutes instead of seconds.

Is this conversion relevant outside the US?

Since pound-foot per second is tied to US customary units, extra conversion steps may be necessary for use with international metrics.
