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

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.
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.
