Pound-Foot/hour
Pound-foot per hour (lbf·ft/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds per hour, commonly used in engineering to measure power output or consumption.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per hour originated from the imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify power in mechanical and engineering contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of SI units but remains relevant in certain industries.
Current Use
Today, pound-foot per hour is primarily used in specific engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for measuring power in systems where imperial units are standard. It is also used in historical data and legacy systems.
Horsepower (Boiler)
Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer, specifically indicating the power of steam boilers, equivalent to approximately 33,475 watts.
History/Origin
The boiler horsepower was developed in the late 19th century to standardize the measurement of steam boiler capacity, primarily in the United States, and has been used historically in engineering and industrial applications to quantify boiler power output.
Current Use
Today, boiler horsepower is primarily used in the United States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
