HP to Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the torque from horsepower.
T = HP / (RPM / 5252)
- Where T is the torque (pound-feet)
- HP is the horsepower
- RPM is the rotations per minute
To calculate torque from HP, divide the horsepower by the value of the RPM divided by 5252.
HP to Torque Defintion
Calculating torque from horsepower includes dividing the horsepower by the RPM generated by the engine.
