Frequently asked questions
Symbols and assumptions
- hp
- Input unit — mechanical horsepower
- PS
- Output unit — metric horsepower
- W
- Base unit used internally for power
- • Both units measure power, so the physical quantity is unchanged by the conversion.
- • The relationship is exactly linear: 1 hp = 1.013869665 PS.
- • Values are converted through the SI base unit for this quantity rather than pair by pair.
