Formula
PS = kgf·m/s × 0.01333333
Multiply any value in kilograms-force metre per second by 0.01333333 to obtain the value in metric horsepower.
Worked example
Convert 75 kgf·m/s to PS.
- 01Start with 75 kgf·m/s.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 75 × 0.01333333 = 1 PS.
Result75 kgf·m/s = 1 PS

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kgf·m/s to PS?
1 kgf·m/s equals 0.01333333 PS. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force metre per second by 0.01333333.
How do I convert 1 kgf·m/s to PS?
1 kgf·m/s = 0.0133333 PS. For any value, multiply by 0.01333333.
How do I convert PS back to kgf·m/s?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 75. So 1 PS = 75 kgf·m/s.
When would I need to convert kilogram-force metre per second to metric 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).
