What Is This Tool?
This unit converter translates fuel efficiency values expressed as grams per thermochemical calorie to pounds per horsepower-hour. It allows users to compare and analyze fuel consumption across different measurement standards used in engines and industrial systems.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the fuel efficiency value in gram/calorie (th) units
- Select gram/calorie (th) as the from unit and pound/horsepower/hour as the to unit
- Click convert to see the equivalent value in pound/horsepower/hour
- Use the result to assess fuel consumption relative to mechanical power output
Key Features
- Converts mass-based fuel efficiency from gram/calorie (th) to pound/horsepower/hour
- Supports comparisons of fuel consumption in thermal and mechanical power terms
- Includes precise conversion rate based on standardized definitions
- Useful for automotive, aviation, power generation, and industrial applications
- Provides example calculations for clarity
Examples
- 2 g/cal (th) converts to 2 × 1414.5201963654 = 2829.04 lb/hp/hr
- 0.5 g/cal (th) converts to 0.5 × 1414.5201963654 = 707.26 lb/hp/hr
Common Use Cases
- Comparing the amount of fuel mass required to deliver thermal energy in fuel evaluation studies
- Estimating fuel needed for propulsion or power plants designing to achieve specific calorific outputs
- Sizing fuel supplies for heating appliances and industrial burners based on mass per energy produced
- Reporting engine brake specific fuel consumption to evaluate automotive or piston engine efficiency
- Analyzing gas turbine and turboprop aircraft performance for fuel burn and range planning
- Testing industrial and marine engines to quantify fuel consumption per mechanical or electrical output
Tips & Best Practices
- Always ensure the input value is in gram/calorie (th) before converting
- Use this conversion to understand fuel consumption across different units of thermal and mechanical power
- Consider differences in energy bases and unit scales when interpreting conversion results
- Apply the tool for preliminary analysis, supplementing with additional efficiency data where possible
- Use consistent units when comparing multiple fuel efficiency measurements for accuracy
Limitations
- Conversion assumes a direct relationship between thermal calorie input and mechanical horsepower output, which may vary in practice
- Differences in energy basis and unit scales require careful consideration when comparing results
- Applicability is primarily for assessing fuel mass input relative to thermal and mechanical power outputs
- Does not account for specific engine or system efficiency factors beyond unit conversion

Key Terminology
- Gram/calorie (th) [g/cal (th)]
- A unit expressing mass of fuel consumed per thermochemical calorie of energy produced; it measures fuel mass efficiency relative to thermal energy input.
- Pound/horsepower/hour
- A mass-specific fuel consumption unit indicating pounds of fuel burned to generate one horsepower of power output over one hour, used to assess engine efficiency.
- Thermochemical calorie (cal_th)
- A calorie unit defined as 4.184 joules, representing a measure of thermal energy used in the context of fuel consumption.
- Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC)
- A metric of fuel efficiency that reports fuel mass consumed per unit of engine power output, often expressed in pound/horsepower/hour.
