kW to BHP Calculator
What is kW to BHP Calculator?
A kW to BHP Conversion calculator is an online tool which allows computation of kilowatts in brake horsepower. One of the most frequently used power units for expressing output to calculate power is an important consideration for the automotive and the engineering industries.
Whether it’s a car engine, industrial machinery, or any other motorized device, determining horsepower of an engine can be achieved to be very fast and easy by using a kW to BHP calculator. After knowing the meaning of both kW and BHP, this helps to make judgments about how well an engine, motor, or mechanical system is working.
Use the following kW to BHP Conversion formula for manual calculationÂ
kW to BHP Conversion
Formula: Convert kW to BHP
To calculate brake horsepower (BHP) when power in kilowatts (kW) is known:
\[ \text{BHP} = \text{kW} \times 1.34102 \]
Where:
- \(\text{BHP}\) = Brake Horsepower
- \(\text{kW}\) = Power in kilowatts
- 1.34102 = Conversion factor from kW to BHP
Example Calculation
If the power is 100 kW:
\[ \text{BHP} = 100 \times 1.34102 = 134.102 \text{ BHP} \]
