What Is This Tool?

This tool converts power values from foot pound-force per hour, a legacy imperial unit for small mechanical power, into the more widely recognized unit of horsepower (common mechanical/imperial hp). It facilitates comparisons and updates between historical small-scale power measurements and modern standard ratings used in vehicles, motors, and industrial machinery.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in foot pound-force/hour you want to convert
  • Select foot pound-force/hour as the input unit and horsepower (hp, hp (UK)) as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the result instantly
  • Use the conversion factor of 1 foot pound-force/hour = 0.000000505050505 horsepower to verify results
  • Refer to examples for guidance on typical input values

Key Features

  • Simple conversion between foot pound-force/hour and horsepower (hp, hp (UK))
  • Supports engineering and automotive power unit translations
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit conversions
  • Provides conversion results based on the commonly used mechanical horsepower variant
  • Includes examples for practical understanding

Examples

  • 1000 foot pound-force/hour equals 0.00050505 horsepower
  • 5000 foot pound-force/hour equals 0.00252525 horsepower

Common Use Cases

  • Translating small legacy imperial power values into standard horsepower ratings
  • Comparing historical engineering work rates to modern power units
  • Specifying engine and motor power ratings in automotive and industrial documents
  • Assessing mechanical work rates in field reports using foot and pound-force units
  • Converting older equipment power specs to SI units for design updates

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the exact horsepower variant being used (common mechanical hp) for accurate conversions
  • Use precise input values as the resulting horsepower numbers may be very small
  • Understand that this conversion assumes steady power rates without fluctuations
  • Refer to examples to check your conversion calculations
  • Apply this tool for small-scale power measurements common in legacy imperial systems

Limitations

  • Foot pound-force/hour represents very small power levels; resulting horsepower values are extremely small
  • Different horsepower variants exist; this conversion uses the mechanical/imperial hp only
  • Does not consider dynamic or varying load conditions that affect power over time
  • Precision is important when dealing with the very small numerical results

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 foot pound-force/hour represent?
It represents one foot-pound-force of work performed or energy transferred every hour, a very small unit of power used in legacy imperial measurements.

Why convert foot pound-force/hour to horsepower?
To translate small legacy power measurements into the widely used mechanical horsepower unit for easier comparison and specification in automotive and industrial applications.

Which horsepower variant does this conversion use?
This converter uses the common mechanical or imperial horsepower defined as 550 foot-pounds per second, approximately 745.7 watts.

Key Terminology

Foot pound-force/hour
A non-SI unit of power indicating the work or energy transferred of one foot-pound-force per hour, representing very small mechanical power levels.
Horsepower (hp, hp (UK))
A non-SI unit of power widely used in mechanical and automotive contexts, defined as 550 foot-pounds per second, approximately 745.7 watts, to express engine or motor power.
Non-SI Unit
Units of measurement not part of the International System of Units but commonly used in specific contexts or legacy systems.
