What Is This Tool?

This tool converts values from calorie (IT) per gram, a specific-energy measure, into gram per metric horsepower per hour, a mass-per-power-time unit used to express specific fuel consumption for engines.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in calorie (IT)/gram you want to convert
  • Select calorie (IT)/gram as the from unit
  • Choose gram/horsepower (metric)/hour as the to unit
  • Click the convert button to get the result
  • Review the output showing the equivalent fuel consumption measure

Key Features

  • Converts fuel energy density units to engine fuel consumption units
  • Supports specific-energy to mass-power-time unit conversion
  • Includes common use cases in fuel efficiency and engine testing
  • Provides direct calculation using defined conversion rate
  • Browser-based and easy to use

Examples

  • 2 cal/g converts to 1,264,830.1805675 g/(hp·h)
  • 0.5 cal/g converts to 316,207.545141875 g/(hp·h)

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting the calorific value of fuels like coal, wood, and diesel
  • Comparing energy density of fuels for aerospace or portable power applications
  • Estimating combustion and engine efficiency based on fuel energy content
  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption in engine test results
  • Optimizing engine tuning and fuel efficiency in powerplants
  • Converting legacy engine fuel consumption data to SI units for analysis

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent unit definitions when performing conversions
  • Double-check numerical input due to large conversion factors involved
  • Use the tool for quick estimation rather than precise scientific calculation
  • Review engine or fuel specifications to understand context of values
  • Use converted values to support regulatory compliance and performance comparisons

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes standardized definitions of calorie and horsepower units
  • Differences in fuel composition and engine conditions can affect interpretation
  • Large conversion factor requires careful numerical handling to prevent errors

Frequently Asked Questions

What does calorie (IT)/gram represent?
It expresses the energy in International Steam Table calories contained per gram of a substance, used to quantify calorific value or energy density of fuels.

What is gram/horsepower (metric)/hour used for?
It measures the mass of fuel consumed per metric horsepower generated per hour, commonly for reporting brake specific fuel consumption of engines.

Why convert from calorie (IT)/gram to gram/horsepower (metric)/hour?
