- 1 BTU/h = 0.000393014778922 hp
- 1 × 0.000393014778922 = 0.000393014778922 hp
How to convert btu (it) per hour to horsepower
1 BTU/h = 0.000393014778922 hp, so multiply by 0.000393014778922 to go from BTU (IT) per hour to horsepower (mechanical, 550 ft·lbf/s). Going the other way, 1 hp = 2,544.43357764 BTU/h.
hp = BTU/h × 0.000393014778922 BTU/h = hp × 2,544.43357764
Worked example:
1 BTU/h = 0.000393014778922 hp 5 × 0.000393014778922 = 0.00196507389461 hp
