Convert horsepower (metric) hour to dyne centimeter
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) hour [hp*h] to dyne centimeter [dyn*cm], or Convert dyne centimeter to horsepower (metric) hour.
1 hp*h = 2.6478e+13 dyn*cm. To convert horsepower (metric) hour to dyne centimeter, multiply the value by 2.6478e+13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dyn*cm = 3.7767e-14 hp*h). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp*h = 2.6478e+13 dyn*cm
- 1 dyn*cm = 3.7767e-14 hp*h
- 10 hp*h = 2.6478e+14 dyn*cm
- 100 hp*h = 2.6478e+15 dyn*cm
How to Convert Horsepower (Metric) Hour to Dyne Centimeter

Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
Dyne Centimeter
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one dyne acts over a distance of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne centimeter originated from the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, commonly used in physics before the adoption of the SI system, to measure small amounts of energy or work.
Current Use
Today, the dyne centimeter is primarily used in theoretical physics and specialized fields dealing with CGS units, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most practical applications.
