Convert foot pound force per hour to watts
Foot-pound-force per hour
The foot-pound-force per hour (ft·lbf/h) is a very small unit of power in the imperial system, equal to one foot-pound-force of work performed over one hour, or approximately 3.7662 × 10−4 watts. It is used primarily in low-power engineering calculations and energy auditing contexts in the United States. One mechanical horsepower equals 1,980,000 ft·lbf/h. Its small magnitude makes it more suited to expressing energy consumption rates in industrial accounting than to real-time power ratings.
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
