How to Convert Horsepower (electrical) to Foot-pound/minute

Converting Horsepower (electrical) (hp (E)) to Foot-pound/minute (ft·lbf/min) is a core calculation in Power, which measures the rate of energy expenditure, conversion, or work transfer per unit of time. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 Horsepower (electrical) equals 33013.281893 Foot-pound/minute, while 1 ft·lbf/min equals 3.029084 × 10⁻⁵ hp (E).

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (watt (W)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)
Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)
1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 hp (E) = 746.000002 watt (W)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 ft·lbf/min = 0.022597 watt (W)
Step-by-step substitution for Horsepower (electrical) → Foot-pound/minute:V(ft·lbf/min) = V(hp (E)) × ( 746.000002 / 0.022597 ) = V(hp (E)) × 33013.281893
Mathematical FormulaValue in Foot-pound/minute = Value in Horsepower (electrical) × 33013.2818934Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

Evaluating an input of 24 Horsepower (electrical) (hp (E)) produces 792318.765442 Foot-pound/minute (ft·lbf/min). In heavy-duty utility and industrial workloads, 10000 hp (E) equals 3.301328 × 10⁸ ft·lbf/min.

Inverse check: 1 ft·lbf/min = 3.029084 × 10⁻⁵ hp (E).
