Discover the simplicity of converting energy from calories (IT) to the mechanical unit of horsepower hours (hp·h) with our Calorie IT to Horsepower Metric Hour Converter.
A calorie is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.
Definition of Horsepower-hourA horsepower-hour (hp·h) is a unit of energy equivalent to the work done by one horsepower acting for one hour. It's a measure of the time-integrated power over a specific period.
| Calories (cal) | Horsepower-Hours (hp·h) |
|---|---|
| 1 cal | 0.00000158124 hp·h |
| 10 cal | 0.0000158124 hp·h |
| 100 cal | 0.000158124 hp·h |
| 500 cal | 0.000790620 hp·h |
| 1000 cal | 0.00158124 hp·h |
| 5000 cal | 0.00790620 hp·h |
| 10000 cal | 0.0158124 hp·h |
| 50000 cal | 0.0790620 hp·h |
| 100000 cal | 0.158124 hp·h |
| 500000 cal | 0.790620 hp·h |
1 cal = 0.00000158124 hp·h
1000 cal = 0.00158124 hp·h
Example 1:
Convert 1500 cal to hp·h:
1500 cal = 1500 × 0.00000158124 hp·h = 0.00237186 hp·h
Example 2:
Convert 2500 cal to hp·h:
2500 cal = 2500 × 0.00000158124 hp·h = 0.0039531 hp·h
