About Converting Microwatts to Foot-pounds per second
Microwatt and Foot-pound per second both measure a quantity used in structural or mechanical engineering — commonly stress, pressure, force, torque, power, or energy — where converting between the unit conventions used in different regions, industries, or equipment specifications is a routine part of design work. Specifically: Microwatt is 0.000001 watt units, and mechanical power rate.
Formula
foot-pounds per second = microwatts × 7.375621e-7
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microwatt equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 foot-pound per second equals 1.35581794833 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microwatt-to-foot-pound per second factor of 7.375621e-7.
Simple example
1 uW × 7.375621e-7 = 7.375621e-7 ft-lb/s
1 microwatt = 7.375621e-7 foot-pounds per second.
Real-world example
100 uW × 7.375621e-7 = 0.0000737562 ft-lb/s
100 microwatts = 0.0000737562 foot-pounds per second.

Frequently asked questions
How many foot-pounds per second are in 1 microwatt?
1 microwatt equals 7.375621e-7 foot-pounds per second, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microwatt to foot-pound per second?
Multiply the microwatt value by 7.375621e-7. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert foot-pound per second back to microwatt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 foot-pound per second equals 1,355,817.948 microwatts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a microwatt?
Microwatt (uW) is a unit of engineering.
What is a foot-pound per second?
Foot-pound per second (ft-lb/s) is a unit of engineering.
Is the microwatt to foot-pound per second conversion exact?
Yes. Both microwatt and foot-pound per second are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 7.375621e-7 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Why do engineering unit conventions vary so much by region and industry?
Pressure, force, and stress can be expressed in metric (pascal, newton), US customary (psi, pound-force), or older and industry-specific units (atmosphere, torr, kip) depending on the country, industry, and even the equipment manufacturer, which is why engineers routinely need to convert between them when working across specs from different sources.
