Horsepower
Horsepower is
a common unit for measuring the rate of doing work. When James
Watt perfected the steam engine, he wished to compare its
performance with that of a horse. It was estimated that a
horse could raise a bail of cotton weighing 550 pounds vertically
at a rate of one foot in one second. Therefore, the unit of
horsepower was established at 550 ft-lbs. / sec. or 33,000
ft-lbs. / min.
In our industry we need to express horsepower in terms of
rotory motion.
 |
Circumference = 2 R |
Therefore, the work accomplished
can be expressed as follows:
| HP = |
Force
(F) (lbs) X Radius (R) X 2 X RPM |
| |
 |
| |
33,000
X 12 (in-lbs/min) |
| |
|
| |
(F X
R = T) |
| |
|
| |
|
Therefore:
| HP = |
| Torque (T)
(in-lbs) X RPM |
|
| 63,025 |
|
| |
|
| or: |
| T (in-lbs)
= |
| HP x
63,025 |
|
| RPM |
