Formula for corrected torque

I received an e-mail from Blane at Browns Valley RV. Several of us that attended his dyno day's wanted to correct our rear wheel torque.

Here's the formula: Torque=HPx5252/RPM.

If you have the torque and want to find the HP it's: HP=torquexRPM/5252.

I'm kind of curious what the 5252 represents. Blane got the formula from his dyno and software builder, so maybe it represents something that is particuler to his dyno?
