Horsepower HP Calculation:
Torque: pound-foot
Speed: revolution per minute
Rotating HP: Watt

  
   
  



Formula:

Rotating Horsepower(HP) = T * (N / 5252) Watt

Where,
T - Torque
N - Speed

The horsepower was widely adopted to measure the output of piston engines, turbines, electric motors and other machinery.
