Convert foot pound-force/minute to pound-foot/hour
Please provide values below to convert foot pound-force/minute [ft*lbf/min] to pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h], or Convert pound-foot/hour to foot pound-force/minute.
1 ft*lbf/min = 60 lbf*ft/h. To convert foot pound-force/minute to pound-foot/hour, multiply the value by 60; to go the other way, divide by it (1 lbf*ft/h = 0.0166666666667 ft*lbf/min). 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/min = 60 lbf*ft/h
- 1 lbf*ft/h = 0.0166666666667 ft*lbf/min
- 10 ft*lbf/min = 600 lbf*ft/h
- 100 ft*lbf/min = 6000 lbf*ft/h
How to Convert Foot Pound-Force/minute to Pound-Foot/hour
1 ft*lbf/min = 60 lbf*ft/h
Example: convert 15 ft*lbf/min to lbf*ft/h:
15 ft*lbf/min = 15 × 60 lbf*ft/h = 900 lbf*ft/h

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.
Pound-Foot/hour
Pound-foot per hour (lbf·ft/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds per hour, commonly used in engineering to measure power output or consumption.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per hour originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify power in mechanical and engineering contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in certain industries.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per hour is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for measuring power in systems where imperial units are standard. It is also used in historical data and legacy systems.
