Convert hectojoule/second to horsepower (metric)
Please provide values below to convert hectojoule/second [hJ/s] to horsepower (metric) [hp (metric)], or Convert horsepower (metric) to hectojoule/second.
1 hJ/s = 0.13596216173 hp (metric). To convert hectojoule/second to horsepower (metric), multiply the value by 0.13596216173; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hp (metric) = 7.3549875 hJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Hectojoule/second
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s) is a unit of power representing one hundred joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The unit hJ/s is derived from the SI unit joule (J) and the metric prefix hecto- (h), used to express larger quantities of energy transfer rate, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts. It has been used as an alternative to watts in certain fields, though watts are more standard.
Current Use
Hectojoule per second is occasionally used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify power, especially in contexts where larger energy transfer rates are involved. However, the watt (W) remains the standard SI unit for power, and hJ/s is less common in everyday use.
Horsepower (Metric)
The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
History/Origin
The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.
Current Use
Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.
