power units... what do they mean??

grinfactor · 08-26-2008, 01:22 PM

hey guys,
could someone please tell me the difference/exchange rates between bhp, Kw, ps

??
why can't everyone use the same damn thing

thanks in advance

1 BHP = 745.7 Watts = 1.01389 PS

PS is to make things sound better, its a german metric horse
for Kw just move decimal place i.e divide by 1000
0.74569987158227022 kW

mmm.. love SI units mean nothing but the maths is easy

sorry

Loki-TLR · 08-26-2008, 03:16 PM

As far as I know 100bhp = 72 kW. BHP or PS makes little to no difference?

multipy KW by 1.3 to get hp near enough. (x13 /10)
divide HP by .75 or 3/4 to get kw near enough

That would be Mutiply HP by .75 to get kW ....

thanks guys

that really helps

PS = pferdestarke.

MHP for metric Horsepower would have been easier

Throw them all away. Stevepowers rule

What? The UK use kilometres instead of miles?

Or worse, the USA use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit?

And then you've got RWHP and BHP

just to throw a spanner in the works

please don't tell me those two are different

Rear wheel Horse Power.

BHP, Brake Horse Power can be measured at the crank shaft of the rear wheels. You can use HP and BHP the same these days. The Brake in BHP was the old school for Dyno.

Yup - (B)HP, read at the crank is what most manufacturers quote, cos it's a higher number than RWHP, which, being taken from the rear wheel seems to be a more realistic assesment
