It's not something that's pulled out of the air, that is the definition of hp. Every dyno plot you see will have hp=tq at 5252 rpm. Torque is one of two components of horsepower, it's the intensity portion. The rate portion is rpm. In hydraulics those are pressure and flow rate. In electronics they are voltage and current. Every form of energy has those two components, with out either no work can be accomplished.
That's all torque is, a component of horsepower. Useless on its own. Think about it, given a four foot pipe you could generate 400ftlb of torque relatively easily. Could you use that to push a car past 2 mph. Nope, because it's just intensity with almost no rate.
