The 5252 Law
In the Imperial system, Horsepower and Torque are always equal at exactly 5252 RPM. If your engine speed is higher than 5,252 RPM, Horsepower will be numerically higher than Torque. Below that point, Torque will be higher.
Crankshaft Mathematics
- Enter the engine Horsepower (hp).
- Input the specific Engine Speed (RPM) where the power is measured.
- View the calculated Torque in lb-ft and Nm.
- Check the 5252 Law section to understand how your engine profile changes above and below that RPM crossover point.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Torque calculated from Horsepower?
Torque (lb-ft) = (Horsepower × 5,252) / RPM. This is the standard physical formula used to measure twisting force at the crankshaft.
Why do Horsepower and Torque cross at 5252 RPM?
This is a mathematical constant in the Imperial system. Based on the definition of a 'horsepower' (moving 33,000 lbs one foot in one minute) and the geometry of a circle, the numbers must meet at 5,252.
What is the difference between lb-ft and Nm?
Pound-feet (lb-ft) is the Imperial unit for torque, while Newton-meters (Nm) is the Metric (SI) unit. 1 lb-ft is approximately equal to 1.356 Nm.
Which is more important: HP or Torque?
Torque is the internal twisting force that gets the vehicle moving (acceleration). Horsepower is the rate at which that work is performed (top speed and continuous power).
