Calculation Methodology

Power (kW) = (Torque Nm * RPM) / 9548.8. Mechanical HP = Power kW * 1.34102. Metric HP (PS) = Power kW * 1.35962. Torque lb-ft = Torque Nm * 0.737562.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because of the mathematical constant derived from the imperial definition of power: when RPM = 5,252, (Torque * 5,252) / 5,252 = Torque, making numerical HP and lb-ft equal.
