kW to hp (water) Calculator

Calculate Water Horsepower from Kilowatts



Formula

The formula to convert kilowatts to water horsepower is:

\[ hp = kW \cdot 1.34040531175817 \]

Definition

Kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts. Water horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the output of water pumps, equal to approximately 1.34040531175817 kilowatts[^1^].

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ hp = 5 \cdot 1.34040531175817 = 6.702 \]
