Difference between HP and BHP?

Horsepower (HP) is the output power of an engine, whereas brake horsepower (BHP) is the input power of an engine. Horsepower (HP) typically refers to the actual power available to move the vehicle, taking into account the losses through the vehicle's mechanical components.

How to convert HP to BHP?

To convert power from horsepower (HP) to brake horsepower (BHP), multiply the power value in HP by 1.01387. For example, if an engine has a power output of 70 HP, the equivalent in brake horsepower would be approximately 70.97 BHP.

How many HP in 1 BHP?

There is approximately 0.9863 HP in 1 BHP. This means that 1 brake horsepower is equivalent to 0.9863 horsepower.

HP to BHP Formula

The formula to convert HP to BHP is:

BHP = HP x 1.01387

For example, if an engine has a power output of 100 BHP, the equivalent power in horsepower would be:

BHP = 100 x 1.01387 = 101.387
