How to Convert Foot-pound/minute to Horsepower (electrical)

Converting Foot-pound/minute (ft·lbf/min) to Horsepower (electrical) (hp (E)) is a core calculation in Power, which measures the rate of energy expenditure, conversion, or work transfer per unit of time. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Foot-pound/minute equals 3.029084 × 10⁻⁵ Horsepower (electrical), while 1 hp (E) equals 33013.281893 ft·lbf/min.

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (watt (W)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 ft·lbf/min = 0.022597 watt (W)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 hp (E) = 746.000002 watt (W)

Step-by-step substitution for Foot-pound/minute → Horsepower (electrical):V(hp (E)) = V(ft·lbf/min) × ( 0.022597 / 746.000002 ) = V(ft·lbf/min) × 3.029084 × 10⁻⁵

Mathematical FormulaValue in Horsepower (electrical) = Value in Foot-pound/minute × 3.02908388 × 10⁻⁵Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

Converting 36 ft·lbf/min yields an exact output of 0.00109047 hp (E) in Horsepower (electrical). Under higher industrial throughput, 240 ft·lbf/min translates to 0.0072698 hp (E).

Inverse check: 1 hp (E) = 33013.281893 ft·lbf/min.
