Convert Horsepower (mechanical) to Metric horsepower (PS)

Horsepower (mechanical) → Metric horsepower (PS)
hp × 1.01387 = PS PS × 0.9863201 = hp

To convert horsepower (mechanical) (hp) to metric horsepower (ps) (PS), multiply the horsepower (mechanical) value by 1.01387. One horsepower (mechanical) equals 1.01387 metric horsepower (ps); one metric horsepower (ps) equals 0.9863201 horsepower (mechanical). The conversion is a linear scaling with no offset, so the same factor applies to any value.
