What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change power values from Pferdestärke (ps), the metric horsepower used historically in German-speaking regions, to mechanical horsepower [hp, hp (UK)] commonly used internationally. It is useful for comparing engine output and power specifications across different measurement conventions.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in Pferdestärke (ps) into the input field
  • Select Pferdestärke (ps) as the original unit and horsepower [hp, hp (UK)] as the target unit
  • Press the convert button to get the equivalent horsepower output

Key Features

  • Converts power units from the regional Pferdestärke (ps) to internationally recognized horsepower [hp, hp (UK)]
  • Includes use cases relevant to automotive, industrial machinery, marine engines, and electric motors
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation

Examples

  • 10 pferdestarke (ps) converts to approximately 9.8632 horsepower [hp, hp (UK)]
  • 5 pferdestarke (ps) converts to approximately 4.9316 horsepower [hp, hp (UK)]

Common Use Cases

  • Stating engine power in German and European automotive specifications
  • Converting power ratings when comparing vehicle or machinery specifications internationally
  • Using in repair manuals and resale listings where PS is the regional norm
  • Comparing marine engine and generator power outputs
  • Specifying power for electric motors, pumps, and small engines

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the specific horsepower variant needed, as mechanical (imperial) horsepower is used here
  • Use this converter when aligning regional and international power ratings for clear comparison
  • Remember that Pferdestärke is not an SI unit and may be unfamiliar outside certain regions
  • Be aware of potential small rounding differences in practical measurements

Limitations

  • The conversion applies to mechanical/imperial horsepower; other definitions of horsepower exist
  • Pferdestärke is regionally used and not an SI unit, which might cause misinterpretation if context is ignored
  • Decimal precision can introduce minor rounding variations in results

Frequently Asked Questions
