Convert horsepower (metric) hour to kilopond meter
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) hour [hp*h] to kilopond meter [kp*m], or Convert kilopond meter to horsepower (metric) hour.
1 hp*h = 270000 kp*m. To convert horsepower (metric) hour to kilopond meter, multiply the value by 270000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kp*m = 3.7037037037e-06 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 = 270000 kp*m
- 1 kp*m = 3.7037037037e-06 hp*h
- 10 hp*h = 2700000 kp*m
- 100 hp*h = 27000000 kp*m
How to Convert Horsepower (Metric) Hour to Kilopond Meter
1 hp*h = 270000 kp*m
Example: convert 15 hp*h to kp*m:
15 hp*h = 15 × 270000 kp*m = 4050000 kp*m

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energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.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.
Kilopond Meter
A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilopond applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilopond meter was used in the past within the metric system to quantify torque, especially in mechanical and engineering contexts, before the adoption of the new SI units. It is based on the kilopond, a gravitational unit of force equivalent to the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity.
Current Use
The kilopond meter is largely obsolete and rarely used today. Torque is now typically measured in newton meters (N·m) within the SI system, which is the standard in scientific and engineering applications.
