What Is This Tool?

This tool converts fuel consumption rates measured as grams per metric horsepower per hour into grams per kilowatt hour. It helps standardize specific fuel consumption data for engines, enabling comparisons and regulatory compliance in various power generation and propulsion contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gram/horsepower (metric)/hour you wish to convert.
  • Select the unit to convert from: gram/horsepower (metric)/hour.
  • Choose the unit to convert to: gram/kilowatt/hour.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent mass fuel consumption in gram/kilowatt/hour.

Key Features

  • Converts fuel efficiency units from gram/horsepower (metric)/hour to gram/kilowatt/hour.
  • Supports analysis of brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) for engines and turbines.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
  • Provides standardized conversion to SI units for regulatory and benchmarking purposes.

Examples

  • Converting 5 g/(hp·h) results in 6.7981080865 g/kW·h.
  • Converting 10 g/(hp·h) results in 13.596216173 g/kW·h.

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption in engine testing and dynamometer reports.
  • Optimizing engine tuning and fuel efficiency in powerplants and propulsion systems.
  • Converting legacy engine data to SI units for regulatory and analysis purposes.
  • Comparing fuel efficiency of marine and industrial engines for benchmarking.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify unit definitions before converting to ensure consistency.
  • Use this conversion to standardize fuel consumption data across different measurement systems.
  • Consider conversion limits where variations in horsepower definitions may exist.
  • Apply conversions carefully when comparing data from different regions for accuracy.

Limitations

  • Different definitions of horsepower and rounding may cause minor inaccuracies.
  • Assumes metric horsepower equals exactly 735.49875 watts; regional differences may affect results.
  • Does not account for fuel composition or varying engine operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gram/horsepower (metric)/hour measure?
It measures the mass of fuel consumed in grams to produce one metric horsepower of power for one hour, reflecting specific fuel consumption.

Why convert gram/horsepower (metric)/hour to gram/kilowatt/hour?
Converting to gram/kilowatt/hour standardizes fuel consumption data to SI units, facilitating regulatory compliance and fuel efficiency comparisons.

Are there inaccuracies in this conversion?
Minor inaccuracies may arise due to different horsepower definitions, rounding, and assuming a fixed watt equivalent for metric horsepower.

Key Terminology

Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC)
A measurement of fuel efficiency indicating the mass of fuel consumed per unit of power output over time, expressed in units such as gram/kilowatt/hour or gram/horsepower/hour.
Metric Horsepower (PS)
A unit of power equal to 735.49875 watts, commonly used in engine performance measurements.
Gram/kilowatt/hour (g/kW·h)
A unit expressing the mass of fuel consumed per kilowatt hour of energy produced, used to quantify fuel efficiency.
