How this is calculated
- 1
Power
1 HP = 0.746 kW. kVA = kW ÷ power factor; generators and transformers are usually rated at 0.8.
- 2
Pressure
1 bar = 14.504 PSI = 1.0197 kg/cm² = 100,000 Pa. Gauges in Pakistan often read kg/cm², which is almost the same as bar.
- 3
Torque, length and weight
1 N·m = 0.7376 lb·ft = 10.197 kg·cm. 1 inch = 25.4 mm = 1,000 thou. 1 maund = 40 kg; 1 kg = 2.2046 lb.
- 4
Air flow
1 CFM = 28.317 litres per minute = 1.699 m³ per hour.
Frequently asked questions
How many kW is 1 HP?
1 mechanical horsepower is 0.746 kW. A 10 HP motor is 7.46 kW, usually sold as 7.5 kW.
How many PSI is 1 bar?
1 bar is 14.5 PSI. A compressor rated at 8 bar delivers about 116 PSI.
How do I convert kVA to kW?
Multiply kVA by the power factor. At the standard 0.8, a 100 kVA generator gives 80 kW.
What is 16 gauge in mm?
16 SWG is 1.626 mm. The converter's length section includes a full SWG to mm table for common sheet gauges.
