FAQ

What is the conversion factor from ft·lbf/s to MW?
1 ft·lbf/s equals 1.355818e-6 MW. To convert, multiply the value in foot-pounds force per second by 1.355818e-6.
How do I convert 1 ft·lbf/s to MW?
1 ft·lbf/s = 1.35582e-6 MW. For any value, multiply by 1.355818e-6.
How do I convert MW back to ft·lbf/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 737562.1. So 1 MW = 737562 ft·lbf/s.
When would I need to convert foot-pound force per second to megawatt?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
