FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kgf·m/s to hp?
1 kgf·m/s equals 0.01315093 hp. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force metre per second by 0.01315093.
How do I convert 1 kgf·m/s to hp?
1 kgf·m/s = 0.0131509 hp. For any value, multiply by 0.01315093.
How do I convert hp back to kgf·m/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 76.04022. So 1 hp = 76.0402 kgf·m/s.
When would I need to convert kilogram-force metre per second to mechanical horsepower?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
