What does one horsepower hour represent?

One horsepower hour measures the energy produced by a mechanical horsepower acting continuously for one hour, commonly based on mechanical horsepower power.

Why convert horsepower hours to fuel oil equivalent?

Converting allows comparing mechanical energy output to an energy quantity expressed as volumes of fuel oil, useful for energy accounting and industrial processes.

Are the conversion values exact?

No, values are approximate because fuel oil energy content varies by grade and density, and horsepower definitions differ slightly.
