Discover the simplicity of converting tons of explosives into horsepower metric hours (hp*h) with our reliable tool, designed to pique your curiosity and provide precise conversions.

What are Ton and Horsepower-hour

Definition of Ton

A ton of explosives is a unit of energy commonly used in the field of explosives and represents the energy released by one ton (2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kilograms) of TNT upon detonation. This measurement is often used to quantify the energy of explosions and compare the strength of various explosive materials. It's a non-SI unit, which has a rough equivalence to a gigajoule (GJ).

Definition of Horsepower-hour

The horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy that combines the concept of horsepower, a measure of power, with the duration of time over which that power is exerted. One horsepower-hour represents the work done by a power output of one horsepower acting for one hour. It is not a standard SI unit of energy but is still used in certain contexts, particularly within the automotive and electrical industries, to quantify energy produced or consumed over time.
