Enter the realm of precision with our Horsepower Hour to Pound-force Foot Converter, crafted to ensure accurate conversions for your engineering and mechanical needs.
A horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy equal to the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. Since one horsepower is defined as 745.7 watts, one horsepower-hour equals this value times 3600 seconds, which is equivalent to 2,685,000 joules or 2,545,000 pound-force feet.
Definition of Pound-force-footA pound-force foot (lbf*ft) is a unit of work or energy in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It is the amount of energy transferred when a force of one pound-force is applied over a displacement of one foot. In metric terms, one lbf*ft is approximately equal to 1.3558179483314004 joules.
| Horsepower Hour (hp*h) | Pound-force Foot (lbf*ft) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 hp*h | 254,500 lbf*ft |
| 0.5 hp*h | 1,272,500 lbf*ft |
| 1 hp*h | 2,545,000 lbf*ft |
| 5 hp*h | 12,725,000 lbf*ft |
| 10 hp*h | 25,450,000 lbf*ft |
| 20 hp*h | 50,900,000 lbf*ft |
| 50 hp*h | 127,250,000 lbf*ft |
| 100 hp*h | 254,500,000 lbf*ft |
| 200 hp*h | 509,000,000 lbf*ft |
| 500 hp*h | 1,272,500,000 lbf*ft |
Example 1:
Convert 0.1 hp*h to lbf*ft:
0.1 hp*h = 0.1 × 2,545,000 lbf*ft = 254,500 lbf*ft
Example 2:
Convert 5 hp*h to lbf*ft:
5 hp*h = 5 × 2,545,000 lbf*ft = 12,725,000 lbf*ft
The concept of horsepower was developed by engineer James Watt in the 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with the power of horses. Later, the horsepower-hour became a unit to quantify larger amounts of work over time. The conversion to pound-force feet follows from the definition of horsepower in terms of work done over a specific distance.
Discover the practical applications of the Horsepower Hour to Pound-force Foot Converter in everyday life and industry.
Example 1:
To convert 2 hp*h to lbf*ft:
2 hp*h = 2 × 2,545,000 lbf*ft = 5,090,000 lbf*ft
Example 2:
To convert 3 hp*h to lbf*ft:
3 hp*h = 3 × 2,545,000 lbf*ft = 7,635,000 lbf*ft
