Common Work & Energy Measure 1 HP=1 bhp, or 1 bHP, or 1 Bhp (brake horsepower), or 1 shp (shaft horsepower)1 HP=1 SAEhp (Society of Automotive Engineers)1 HP=3300 av.lb. raised 1 ft./min.1 HP=(torque, or ft.lb. x rpm) ÷ 5252(rpm = rev. per min.)1 HP=6.2832 ft.lb. @ 5252 rpm = 33000 ft.lb./min.(6.2832 = 2π radius)1 HP=1980000 ft.lb./hr.1 HP=550 ft.lb./sec.1 ft.lb.=1 av.lb. on end of weightless horizontal bar, 1 ft. from fulcrum = torque1 ft.lb.=1.355818 joule = 0.323832 gravre calorie1 pdl.=1 poundal = 0.031081 av.lb. = force = 0.042140 joule1 lbf.=1 pound force = 32.174 pdl. = force1 slug or geepound=32.174 av.lb. = mass1 HP=745.6998 Watt1 HP=0.7456998 kiloWatt1 HP=1.01387 PS, or DINps (Deutsches Institut fur Normung pferde staerke)1 HP=1.01387 cv (cheval vapeur)1 HP=2685600 joule (absolute)(US & UK electrical rating)1 HP=2684500 joule (absolute)(HP-hour)1 HP=641280 gravre calorie1 HP=641.28 food calorie1 ihp=indicated horsepower = pressure @ engine cylinders1 fhp=friction horsepower = power lost through friction, heat & compression1 ehp=effective horsepower = final power to equipment1 rhp=rated horsepower = efficient power sustained over a designated time period1 Thp=1 HP measured in mile-pounds per hr. (jet engines & rockets)1 Thp=thrust in pound force x speed of vehicle in miles per hr. ÷ 3751 HP=2545 BTU/hr.(Britains Thermal Units)1 HP=42.416666 BTU/min.1 BTU=energy = heat to raise 1 av.lb. distilled water from 39.2° to 40.2°1 BTU=0.0003927 HP/hr.1 BTU=0.0235756 HP/min.1 BTU=1055.06 joule1 BTU=1055.06 newton metre (Nm)1 BTU=1055.06 Watt second1 BTU=0.000293071 kiloWatt hour (kWhr)1 BTU=10550600000 erg1 BTU=778.1711 ft./lb.1 BTU=25020.1 poundals1 BTU=251.997 gravre calorie1 BTU=0.251997 food calorie132500 BTU=1 fl.gal. kerosene230.4 cu.in.121000 BTU=1 fl.gal. naphtha230.4 cu.in.119200 BTU=1 fl.gal. white gasoline230.4 cu.in.101000 BTU=1 fl.gal. butane230.4 cu.in.91800 BTU=1 fl.gal. propane230.4 cu.in.64400 BTU=1 fl.gal. alcohol230.4 cu.in.1 joule=1 newton metre = 1 Watt second = 0.737561 ft.lb.1 electron volt=1.60219 x (10 to the 19th power) joule​

1 hp = 745.6999 Watts.

Just trying to confuse you! ;)

Just realised that it says that above.. I feel daft now.

I'm not sure what the relation between BHP and HP is..
