Formula:
The Brake Horsepower (BHP) is a crucial measurement of an engine's raw power, often measured at the crankshaft. It is calculated using the following formula when torque is measured in pound-feet (lb-ft):
BHP = (Torque (lb-ft) × RPM) / 5252
- BHP: Brake Horsepower, representing the engine's output power (in horsepower units).
- Torque: The rotational force produced by the engine, measured in pound-feet (lb-ft).
- RPM: Revolutions Per Minute, indicating the engine's speed of rotation.
- 5252: A constant factor used to correctly convert units and derive horsepower from torque and RPM.
