Convert foot pound-force/minute to calorie (th)/second
Enter a value below to convert foot pound-force/minute [ft*lbf/min] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s]. Reverse conversion: Convert calorie (th)/second to foot pound-force/minute.
1 ft*lbf/min = 5.40080305927e-06 cal(th)/s. To convert foot pound-force/minute to calorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 5.40080305927e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal(th)/s = 185157.649525 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: Definition and Use
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.
Calorie (Th)/second: Definition and Use
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
