There are too many variables to convert brake horsepoer to horsepower with a simple equation, it has to do with power transmission.
the "brake" horsepower is the amount of power at the flywheel (the backside of the engine.) from there the power hits the transmission, from there is hits the driveshaft, and finally the wheels, the ratios on all of these effect the power, all of each taking its own little chunk away from it.

Is brake horsepower different from horsepower?
yes of course.
What is the horsepower of a Triumph America?
According to Triumph, it is 54 bhp (brake horsepower) @ 6,750 rpm. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, horsepower at the output shaft of an engine, turbine, or motor is termed brake horsepower or shaft horsepower.
What is brake horsepower in hvac systems?
Brake horsepower is the hvac motor horsepower before the motor hp is dropped due to a load. Indicated, gross and SAE are other ways to rate horsepower.
Convert 6.7 horsepower into cc?
HP does not directly relate to cc
When would you convert horsepower to kilowatts?
1 horsepower = 0.745699872 kilowatts you would convert it when you want a metric measurement for horsepower an example 400 horsepower(mechanical) = 298.2799 kilowatt
What is the difference between brake horsepower and horsepower?
The difference between brake horsepower and horsepower or wheel horsepower, they are the same thing, is that brake horse power is the power produced by the crank. The wheel horsepower is the amount of power delivered to the wheels. Brake horsepower refers to the method used to test the engine. A brake is attached to the engine and used to maintain the engine at a constant RPM at full throttle. The delivered power output is then a simple calculation of RPM times torque. Horse power is based on the average amount of work that a horse could do in a day. It is taken to be 746watts. well you guessed it engine output is also specified in kilowatts so divide by 746 and you have horsepower. As stated above it is all the same thing. There is a difference between advertised horsepower and brake horsepower. Advertised horsepower is what a manufacturer will rate its engine/automobile/machine to produce. Brake horsepower is the actual measured horsepower, for example, of a motor on an engine dynamometer.

What does brake in brake horsepower define?
What does the word "Brake" mean in Brake Horsepower?Brake refers to the de Prony Brake which was invented by Gaspard de Prony and used to determine engine torque and power. The device imposed known values for loads on the engine's output (crank) shaft (by wrapping a belt around the output shaft) in order to produce resulting specific engine rotational speeds in RPMs. Quantities for torque and horsepower were then calculated using simple formulas of mechanical physics (i.e., Torque = Force x Distance & Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5252 ;using the inch-lb system). Horsepower calculated using this method is known as Brake Horsepower or bhp.
What does the term 'bhp' mean?
Brake Horsepower - The actual or useful horsepower of an engine, usually determined from the force exerted on a friction brake or dynamometer connected to the drive shaft.
