How to convert Metric horsepower to Mechanical horsepower

Conversion factor and calculation steps from Metric horsepower (hp (PS)) to Mechanical horsepower (hp).

Conversion logic

Each unit is defined via the base unit (watt (W)). The value is first converted to the base unit, then to the selected unit.

1 hp (PS) = 735.49875 W

1 hp = 745.699871582 W

1 hp (PS) × 735.49875 = 735.49875 W

735.49875 W ÷ 745.699871582 = 0.98632007062 hp
