Understanding the Units

Foot-Pound per Second (ft·lb/s)

Imperial unit of mechanical power. Used in engineering calculations involving torque and rotational speed.

Watt (W)

The SI base unit of power. One watt equals one joule per second. Used for light bulbs, small electronics, and precise measurements.

Common Applications

Mechanical Power

Convert torque-and-speed calculations into standard power units.

Engineering Specs

Relate imperial mechanical power to horsepower and watts.

Machinery Design

Size drives and transmissions from work-rate figures.

How to Use

Converting ft·lb/s to W takes just a few seconds:

Enter the value

Type your Foot-Pound per Second value into the first input field.

Read the result

The Watt result appears instantly in the second field as you type.

Copy or swap

Use the copy button to grab the result, or the swap button (↔) to reverse the direction and convert W back to ft·lb/s.

Conversion Formula

Formula: W = ft·lb/s × 1.356. To reverse: ft·lb/s = W × 0.7376.

Worked Example

For example, 1 ft·lb/s × 1.356 = 1.36 W.
