Hi all,

Can someone give me the conversions from:

kw to bhp

ps to ft. lbs. of torque

bar to psi (I think it is 1.45 psi to 0.10 bar)??

Cheers,
Ray

 

I can answer the first two

1) KW to BHP Divide the KW figure by 0.7452 I.E. 100kw/0.7452
= 134.19 bhp

2) There is no conversion from power output (PS) to torque (lbs ft). The two are entirely unrelated. But just incase you mean Nm to lbs ft of torque, the calculation is to divide the Nm figure by 1.3558. I.E. 200Nm/1.3558 = 147.51lbs ft

 

Hey thanks

You are correct I did mean what you said

Thanks,
Ray

 

Power and torque ARE related!!!!!!!

Torque=power/speed!!

 

There is a relation between Power and Torque.

power:
To find power from torque and rpm:
A = Torque in lbs/ft
B = RPM

BHP = (A * B) / 5252.

EG:

320lbs/ft x 7000 rpm = 2240000 / 5252 = 426 bhp.

torque:
To find torque from power and rpm:

torque in lbs/ft = (bhp * 5252) / rpm.

EG:

380 bhp x 5252 = 1995760 / 6800 rpm = 293 lbs/ft.

Note the constant 5252, at this rpm power torque and power are the same.

You live and learn don't you.....

 

This ain't a bad one either
