The constant 5252 only applies if your
scales are similar and units used are
hp for power (approx 1 kW = 1.34 hp) and
lb-ft for torque.
If using kW and Nm, the constant should be about 9549 (equivalent to 60000 / 2*pi).
It's basically a play on the formula P = Tw.

Yeah, U got it exactly right and well expalained dude.
The original equation was P= T.w
The constant numbers appear whenever any of the parameter units other than Lbs.ft,hp,and rad/s are to be used.
