Convert foot pound-force/minute to pound-foot/second
Please provide values below to convert foot pound-force/minute [ft*lbf/min] to pound-foot/second [lbf*ft/s], or Convert pound-foot/second to foot pound-force/minute.
1 ft*lbf/min = 0.0166666623642 lbf*ft/s. To convert foot pound-force/minute to pound-foot/second, multiply the value by 0.0166666623642; to go the other way, divide by it (1 lbf*ft/s = 60.0000154888 ft*lbf/min). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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/second
A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.
Current Use
Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in SI units.
