Convert horsepower (metric) hour to kilogram-force meter
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) hour [hp*h] to kilogram-force meter [kgf*m], or Convert kilogram-force meter to horsepower (metric) hour.
How to Convert Horsepower (Metric) Hour to Kilogram-Force Meter
1 hp*h = 270000 kgf*m
Example: convert 15 hp*h to kgf*m:
15 hp*h = 15 × 270000 kgf*m = 4050000 kgf*m

Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
Kilogram-Force Meter
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram-force is applied over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force meter was historically used in engineering and physics to quantify energy, especially in contexts involving gravitational force, before the adoption of SI units. It derives from the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force, and the meter as a unit of distance.
Current Use
The kilogram-force meter is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by SI units such as the joule for energy. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications.
