Convert foot pound-force/hour to pound-foot/minute
Please provide values below to convert foot pound-force/hour [ft*lbf/h] to pound-foot/minute [lbf*ft/min], or Convert pound-foot/minute to foot pound-force/hour.
1 ft*lbf/h = 0.0166666666667 lbf*ft/min. To convert foot pound-force/hour to pound-foot/minute, multiply the value by 0.0166666666667; to go the other way, divide by it (1 lbf*ft/min = 60 ft*lbf/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ft*lbf/h = 0.0166666666667 lbf*ft/min
- 1 lbf*ft/min = 60 ft*lbf/h
- 10 ft*lbf/h = 0.166666666667 lbf*ft/min
- 100 ft*lbf/h = 1.66666666667 lbf*ft/min
How to Convert Foot Pound-Force/hour to Pound-Foot/minute
1 ft*lbf/h = 0.0166666666666667 lbf*ft/min
Example: convert 15 ft*lbf/h to lbf*ft/min:
15 ft*lbf/h = 15 × 0.0166666666666667 lbf*ft/min = 0.25 lbf*ft/min

Foot Pound-Force/hour
Foot pound-force per hour (ft*lbf/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over the period of one hour.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force is an imperial unit of work or energy, and its use in power measurements like ft*lbf/h has been common in engineering fields in the United States. It has been used historically in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, ft*lbf/h is primarily used in specific engineering applications, such as in the measurement of small power outputs in mechanical systems, though it is largely replaced by SI units like watts in most scientific and international contexts.
Pound-Foot/minute
Pound-foot per minute (lbf·ft/min) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, specifically the amount of work in pound-feet performed per minute.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per minute has been used historically in engineering and mechanical contexts to measure power, especially in systems where imperial units are prevalent. It is derived from the foot-pound unit of work, divided by time in minutes, aligning with traditional British engineering practices.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per minute is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and automotive industries, to measure torque-related power outputs, though it is less common than SI units like watts or horsepower.
