A horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy equivalent to the power of one horsepower (hp) working for one hour. It represents the work required to lift a total weight vertically or the power expended over time. One horsepower-hour equals 2,545 BTU or 0.7457 kilowatt-hours.
Definition of Foot-poundA foot-pound (ft*lbf or ft*lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Engineering and Gravitational Systems. It is the work done by a force of one pound-force acting through a displacement of one foot in the direction of the force. Essentially, it quantifies the energy transferred by the force.
| Horsepower Hour (hp*h) | Foot-pound (ft*lbf) |

Example 1:
Convert 0.5 hp*h to ft*lbf:
0.5 hp*h = 0.5 × 26552.2 ft*lbf = 13276.1 ft*lbf
Example 2:
Convert 2 hp*h to ft*lbf:
2 hp*h = 2 × 26552.2 ft*lbf = 53104.4 ft*lbf
The concept of converting horsepower hours to foot-pounds has been crucial in fields requiring energy measurement. Since James Watt coined 'horsepower' in the 18th century, the need for conversion arose with the advent of engines and motors, leading to the establishment of this valuable energy equivalency.
Discover the practical uses of converting Horsepower Hours to Foot-pounds in real-world applications.
Example 1:
To convert 3 hp*h to ft*lbf:
