What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values expressed in pound-foot per hour, a unit indicating mechanical work done slowly in imperial terms, into metric horsepower, which measures engine and motor power commonly across many regions.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the power value in pound-foot per hour into the input field.
  • Select pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h] as the source unit.
  • Choose horsepower (metric) as the unit to convert to.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent power expressed in metric horsepower.
  • Use the results to interpret power for engines, motors, or mechanical devices in metric terms.

Key Features

  • Converts very low mechanical power measurements between imperial and metric systems.
  • Supports legacy and historical power unit conversions for accurate comparison.
  • Provides precise translation of small continuous power outputs into widely used metric horsepower values.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without requiring additional software.
  • Useful for automotive, industrial, and vintage equipment power assessments.

Examples

  • Convert 1000 pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h]: 1000 × 5.1205538657703e-7 = 0.000512055 horsepower (metric).
  • Convert 500000 pound-foot/hour [lbf*ft/h]: 500000 × 5.1205538657703e-7 = 0.256027 horsepower (metric).

Common Use Cases

  • Translating very low mechanical power from older imperial units into metric horsepower for easy comparison.
  • Documenting historical or vintage machinery specifications where power is expressed in foot-pound units.
  • Evaluating small motor, pump, or engine outputs in automotive or industrial specifications.
  • Converting hand-crank or slow winch mechanical work rates from imperial to metric units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify the context to ensure the power range fits low continuous mechanical output applications.
  • Consider the small converted values and use suitable precision settings when interpreting results.
  • Be aware that horsepower units can vary by country and standard, so clarify unit definitions if needed.
  • Use this tool primarily for low power assessments since pound-foot/hour is not suited for high-power conversions.

Limitations

  • Pound-foot/hour expresses extremely low power rates and is not accurate for large power ranges.
  • Metric horsepower is larger, making converted values very small and sensitive to floating-point precision.
  • Horsepower units differ regionally, so this conversion applies specifically to metric horsepower standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does pound-foot per hour measure?
It measures mechanical work done per hour in imperial units, representing very low continuous power outputs.

Where is metric horsepower commonly used?
Metric horsepower is widely used in rating engine power of vehicles and small industrial motors in Europe and Asia.

Can this converter be used for high power values?
No, pound-foot per hour is intended for very low power measurements and may be imprecise for high-power scenarios.

Key Terminology

Pound-foot per hour [lbf*ft/h]
An imperial power unit quantifying one foot-pound force of work done per hour, representing very low mechanical power.
Horsepower (metric)
A metric unit of power equal to exactly 735.49875 watts, used to express engine and motor power.
