A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Engineering and Gravitational Systems in United States customary and imperial units of measure. It represents the energy transferred when one pound-force is applied over a linear displacement of one foot. In more technical terms, it is the rotational energy applied to an object using a torque of one pound-force applied through a full circle with a radius of one foot.
Definition of Ton-hourA ton-hour (ton-hr) is a unit of energy commonly used in the heating and cooling industry. It represents the amount of heat required to melt one ton of ice over a 24-hour period. This unit is often used to measure the energy efficiency of refrigeration systems, as it indicates the capacity of an air conditioning system to cool or heat a specific amount of substance within a given time frame.
| Foot-Pound (ft-lb) | Ton-Hour (ton-hr) |
|---|---|
| 1 ft-lb | 3.76616e-7 ton-hr |
| 10 ft-lb | 3.76616e-6 ton-hr |
| 50 ft-lb | 1.88308e-5 ton-hr |
| 100 ft-lb | 3.76616e-5 ton-hr |
| 200 ft-lb | 7.53232e-5 ton-hr |
| 500 ft-lb | 0.000188308 ton-hr |
| 1000 ft-lb | 0.000376616 ton-hr |
| 5000 ft-lb | 0.00188308 ton-hr |
| 10000 ft-lb | 0.00376616 ton-hr |
| 50000 ft-lb | 0.0188308 ton-hr |
1 ft-lb = 3.76616e-7 ton-hr
1 ton-hr = 2.65522e+6 ft-lb
Example 1:
convert 100 ft-lb to ton-hr:
100 ft-lb = 100 × 3.76616e-7 ton-hr = 3.76616e-5 ton-hr
Example 2:
convert 250 ft-lb to ton-hr:
250 ft-lb = 250 × 3.76616e-7 ton-hr = 9.4154e-5 ton-hr
A brief history of the Foot-pound to Ton-hour refrigeration Converter traces back to the early days of industrial refrigeration and machinery. It was developed to assist engineers and technicians in comparing and converting mechanical energy (measured in foot-pounds) to the thermal energy capacity of refrigeration systems (measured in ton-hours).
Explore the practical uses of the ft-lb to ton-hr conversion in diverse fields ranging from HVAC systems to energy management.
Example 1:
Convert 500 ft-lb to ton-hr:
500 ft-lb = 500 × 3.76616e-7 ton-hr = 0.000188308 ton-hr
Example 2:
Convert 750 ft-lb to ton-hr:
750 ft-lb = 750 × 3.76616e-7 ton-hr = 0.000282462 ton-hr
