Horsepower (HP) measures the rate of work an engine can perform. It is calculated from torque and RPM: HP = Torque × RPM / 5252. The constant 5252 comes from unit conversion (one horsepower = 550 ft-lb/sec × 60 sec × 2π).
Guide étape par étape
- 1Torque (lb-ft) measures rotational force at the crankshaft
- 2RPM is the engine speed in revolutions per minute
- 3HP = Torque × RPM / 5252
- 4Torque and HP curves cross always at 5,252 RPM
