What Is This Tool?

This converter changes values from pound per horsepower-hour—a unit measuring fuel mass flow per engine power hour—to gram per metric horsepower per hour, allowing comparisons and calculations in metric units for engine fuel consumption and efficiency.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in pound per horsepower-hour you want to convert
  • Select pound/horsepower/hour as the source unit
  • Choose gram/horsepower (metric)/hour as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to get the result
  • Use the converted value for engine performance or fuel efficiency evaluations

Key Features

  • Converts fuel efficiency units from pound/horsepower/hour to gram/horsepower (metric)/hour
  • Supports comparisons between imperial and metric fuel consumption data
  • Helps analyze brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) across various engine types
  • Ideal for automotive, aircraft, marine, and industrial engine testing contexts
  • Web-based tool requiring no downloads or installations

Examples

  • 2 pound/horsepower/hour equals approximately 894.77 gram/horsepower (metric)/hour
  • 0.5 pound/horsepower/hour equals approximately 223.69 gram/horsepower (metric)/hour

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting BSFC for piston and automotive engines to compare efficiency
  • Analyzing gas-turbine and turboprop performance for aircraft fuel planning
  • Testing industrial generators and marine engines for fuel consumption per output
  • Optimizing engine tuning and load scheduling in powerplants
  • Converting legacy imperial data to metric units for regulatory compliance

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent definition of horsepower units to maintain conversion accuracy
  • Use the tool to aid compliance with international and regulatory standards
  • Employ converted values for comparing engine efficiency at different operating points
  • Remember variations in engine conditions can affect precise BSFC values
  • Validate conversions when switching between imperial and metric systems

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes exact mass equivalence and consistent horsepower definitions
  • Different horsepower variants or rounding may impact exact results
  • BSFC depends on variable engine operating conditions, so values are approximate in some cases

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pound per horsepower-hour used for?
It measures the mass of fuel consumed per horsepower output over one hour, commonly used for reporting brake specific fuel consumption in various engines.

Why convert to gram per metric horsepower per hour?
Converting enables reporting fuel efficiency in SI units, which helps in engine testing, regulatory compliance, and comparing performance internationally.

Are the conversion results exact?
Results assume consistent unit definitions but may vary due to differences in horsepower types and operating conditions, making some conversions approximate.

Key Terminology

Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC)

Horsepower (metric)
A power unit equivalent to approximately 735.49875 watts used primarily in engine performance measurements.
Pound/horsepower/hour
A fuel efficiency unit expressing the mass in pounds of fuel consumed per horsepower produced for one hour.
Gram/horsepower (metric)/hour
A metric unit describing the mass in grams of fuel consumed per metric horsepower generated over one hour.
