Convert Metric horsepower (PS) to Horsepower (mechanical)

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

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