FAQ
What is the conversion factor from TR to ft·lbf/s?
1 TR equals 2593.898 ft·lbf/s. To convert, multiply the value in tons of refrigeration by 2593.898.
How do I convert 1 TR to ft·lbf/s?
1 TR = 2593.9 ft·lbf/s. For any value, multiply by 2593.898.
How do I convert ft·lbf/s back to TR?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0003855202. So 1 ft·lbf/s = 0.00038552 TR.
When would I need to convert ton of refrigeration to foot-pound force per second?
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).
