What Is This Tool?

This tool converts fuel consumption rates from gram/kilowatt/hour (g/kW·h) to gram/horsepower (metric)/hour (g/(metric hp·h)). It helps compare and report specific fuel consumption across different power measurement units used in industries like automotive, marine, and power generation.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gram/kilowatt/hour representing specific fuel consumption
  • Select the conversion to gram/horsepower (metric)/hour
  • Click convert to see the equivalent value in g/(metric hp·h)
  • Use the converted result for engine performance reports or fuel efficiency comparisons

Key Features

  • Converts specific fuel consumption units between g/kW·h and g/(metric hp·h)
  • Supports reporting and performance evaluation of internal combustion engines and turbines
  • Allows comparison of fuel efficiency in various engine and power generation applications
  • Browser-based and easy to use with quick input and output display

Examples

  • 10 g/kW·h converts to 7.3549875 g/(metric hp·h)
  • 5 g/kW·h converts to 3.67749375 g/(metric hp·h)

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) values for engines tested on dynamometers
  • Comparing fuel efficiency of marine and stationary engines for benchmarking
  • Optimizing engine tuning and fuel use in powerplants and propulsion systems
  • Converting legacy engine data to SI units for regulatory compliance and analysis

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify the definition of horsepower used in your region when interpreting results
  • Use this tool for specific fuel consumption measures only, not general mass or energy units
  • Cross-check converted values when comparing legacy and modern engine data for accuracy
  • Apply conversions consistently for performance evaluations across different unit standards

Limitations

  • Based on the metric horsepower definition as 735.49875 watts; differing regional horsepower definitions may affect accuracy
  • Applicable only for specific fuel consumption per unit of power and time, not for general mass or energy conversions

Frequently Asked Questions

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