About Foot-pound per Second
Foot-pounds per second is a mechanical power rate: 1 ft·lb/s = 1.3558179483314004 W (exactly, from the international foot definition).
About Milliwatt
One milliwatt is one thousandth of a watt. Common in RF, fiber optics, and low-power electronics.
How to convert foot-pounds per second to milliwatts
1 foot-pound per second is equal to 1355.81794833140043 milliwatt when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 ft_lb_s = (1.3558179483314003 W ÷ 0.001 W) mw = 1355.81794833140043 mw
Each foot-pound per second is defined as 1.3558179483314003 W and each milliwatt as 0.001 W in this tool, so one ft_lb_s equals 1.3558179483314003 ÷ 0.001 mw = 1355.81794833140043 mw.
Let d(ft_lb_s) be the numeric value in Foot-pound per Second (ft_lb_s), and d(mw) the value in Milliwatt (mw). Then:
d(mw) = d(ft_lb_s) × (1.3558179483314003 / 0.001)
Equivalently, divide by how many ft_lb_s fit into one mw (watts per mw divided by watts per ft_lb_s):
d(mw) = d(ft_lb_s) ÷ 0.00073756214928
Or: milliwatt = foot-pound per second ÷ 0.00073756214928
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 ft_lb_s to milliwatt
1 ft_lb_s = 1 ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003/0.001) mw = 1355.81794833 mw
1 ft_lb_s = 1 ft_lb_s ÷ 0.00073756214928 = 1355.81794833 mw
Intermediate watts: 1.3558179483 W
Example #2: Convert 10 ft_lb_s to milliwatt
10 ft_lb_s = 10 ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003/0.001) mw = 13558.1794833 mw
10 ft_lb_s = 10 ft_lb_s ÷ 0.00073756214928 = 13558.1794833 mw
Intermediate watts: 13.5581794833 W
Summary
To convert Foot-pound per Second to Milliwatt, multiply the value in ft_lb_s by the ratio of watts per ft_lb_s divided by watts per mw. Equivalently: value_mw = value_ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003 / 0.001). Numerically, 1 ft_lb_s equals 1355.8179483314004 mw.
Relationship context
You are converting between mechanical power (horsepower, ft·lb/s) (Foot-pounds per Second) and SI / decimal power (watts and prefixes) (Milliwatts). All linear values are mapped through watts first. The numeric factor is 1.355818e+3.
