Convert foot pound force per minute to watts
Foot-pound-force per minute
The foot-pound-force per minute (ft·lbf/min) is a unit of power in the imperial system, equal to one-sixtieth of a foot-pound-force per second, or approximately 0.022597 watts. It expresses the rate of mechanical work in terms of force and linear displacement over time and is used in some engineering and industrial applications. This unit is related to mechanical horsepower, as one horsepower equals 33,000 ft·lbf/min. It is encountered in historical and technical documentation for machinery output.
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.
