Discover the ease of converting foot-pounds to horsepower hours with our efficient online tool, designed to provide accurate conversions in seconds.
A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is the energy transferred upon applying a force of one pound-force through a displacement of one foot.
Definition of Horsepower-hourA horsepower-hour (hp·h) is a unit of energy equivalent to the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. It is not commonly used in modern calculations but serves as a historical unit of energy.

1 ft-lb = 0.000376616 hp·h
1 hp·h = 2655.22 ft-lb
Example 1:
convert 10 ft-lb to hp·h:
10 ft-lb = 10 × 0.000376616 hp·h = 0.00376616 hp·h
Example 2:
convert 50 ft-lb to hp·h:
50 ft-lb = 50 × 0.000376616 hp·h = 0.0188308 hp·h
The concept of measuring work in foot-pounds dates back to the era when manual labor was common, and the horsepower was coined by James Watt. Over time, the need to convert these units for engineering and mechanical purposes led to the development of the Foot-pound to Horsepower Hour Converter.
Explore the practicality of the ft-lb to hp·h conversion in various real-world scenarios where precise energy measurements are crucial.
Example 1:
Convert 100 ft-lb to hp·h:
100 ft-lb = 100 × 0.000376616 hp·h = 0.0376616 hp·h
Example 2:
Convert 250 ft-lb to hp·h:
250 ft-lb = 250 × 0.000376616 hp·h = 0.094154 hp·h
