Convert calorie (IT)/second to foot pound-force/minute
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to foot pound-force/minute [ft*lbf/min], or Convert foot pound-force/minute to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 185281.559997 ft*lbf/min. To convert calorie (IT)/second to foot pound-force/minute, multiply the value by 185281.559997; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft*lbf/min = 5.39719117226e-06 cal/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Foot Pound-Force/minute
The foot pound-force per minute (ft*lbf/min) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over one minute.
History/Origin
This unit has been used primarily in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure power, especially in the United States, where imperial units are common. It originated from the foot-pound-force as a measure of work, combined with time to express power.
Current Use
The foot pound-force per minute is still used in certain engineering fields, particularly in the United States, for measuring power in mechanical systems, motors, and torque-related applications where imperial units are standard.
