"Pound-force"
A pound or pound-force (abbreviations: lb, lbf, or lbf) is a unit of force. Pound is also the name of a unit of mass. One pound-force is approximately equal to the gravitational force exerted on a mass of one avoirdupois pound on the surface of Earth.

Joule


Explanation:
As a unit of energy I would convert to Joule, one inch pound being 0.1129848 Joule. More ideally, convert to Kilojoule, so divide that figure by 1000 (0.0001129848).
