- 1 hp = 2544.43357764 BTU/h
- 1 × 2544.43357764 = 2544.43357764 BTU/h
How to convert horsepower to btu (it) per hour
1 hp = 2,544.43357764 BTU/h, so multiply by 2,544.43357764 to go from horsepower (mechanical, 550 ft·lbf/s) to BTU (IT) per hour. Going the other way, 1 BTU/h = 0.000393014778922 hp.
BTU/h = hp × 2,544.43357764 hp = BTU/h × 0.000393014778922
Worked example:
1 hp = 2544.43357764 BTU/h 5 × 2544.43357764 = 12722.1678882 BTU/h
