PS is the abbreviation of horse strength in German and is no longer used as a standard of measurement. and bhp is brake horse power or crank shaft horse power. also 1 PS is not the same as 1 bhp since those crazy Germans decided that they wanted to be different

What does BHP of a car signify?

if you dont know what bhp is, its brake horse power, it is worked out by multiplying the torque by the numberb of cylinders (i think) ps. 1 horse has 0.7bhp, the bloke who worked this out assumed a horse has x2 strength as a pony which drew his carriage and this stuck, thhat is why there are many variations of horsepower/brakehorsepower now


BHP to CC relationship how can we relate BHP to CC How can 150CC bike produce 20 BHP where as an 350CC bike just produces 18 BHP?

cc is used to know about the engine size.....where as bhp tells you how much power is delivered at shaft ....it doesn't mean that larger engine size will produce more bhp than smaller one....both are different.....cc - cubic centimetres . to measure the engine displacement .bhp - brake horse power . to measure the power of a vehiclet's just a way to compare engines.The number of cc's the related to an engine, is the size of the engine. The actual size of the combustion chambers where the fuel is burned. Normally, the higher the cc's, the more fuel burned, therefore the more power.bhp is the actual horsepower put out by the engine as built, before attached to the car, which will be lower, as a nominal amount of horsepower is needed to turn the driveshaft and drive gears.t's just a way to compare engines.


How do you calculate brake horsepower of pump?

BHP = Flow(GPM) X TDH(FT) x SG /3960xEFFICIENCY(%)Example: BHP = (100 GPM) x (95 Ft) x (1.0) / 3960 x .6BHP = 4.0


Is bhp bigger then hp?

If this topic is about HorsePower then BHP is just as much as HPAnswerHorsepower, is simply an Imperial unit for measuring power; in SI, we'd use watts. 'Brake' horsepower simply indicates where it is being measured -in this case, at the output of the machine rather than at its input. Because of losses within the machine, the output power is always lower than the input power. Expressed another way, output power is the difference between the input power and any losses.


What is a relation between HP and CC?

In short: there is no real realtionship between them, if any (in my opinion). bhp can be increased in various ways -- using more volatile fuel, turbo chargers etc. Where as cubic capacity is calculated: (πr2)h i.e. the area of the piston (in cubic CM(CC)) multiplyed by the length of the stroke from Top Dead Centre (TDC) to Bottom Dead Centre (BDC).

What is PS and rpm?

PS is the BHP(Brake Horse power) OS the vehicle eg: 100PS@5500rpm means the vehicle delivers 100bhp of max power when the engine runs at 5500rpm(revolutions per minute) PS and BHP are unit of power NM or KGM are units of torque 130NM@2000rpm means the vehicle delivers max torque of 130 NM(Newton meter) at 2000 rpm 130NM can also be written as 13Kgm(Kilogram meter)

What is the difference between a 120 bhp engine and a 160 bhp engine in a rover 75 1.8 petrol car?

The 160 bhp engine has quite a bit more power, and is probably less economical.


What bhp is citroen xantia 2.0 hdi?

110 bhp This is wrong as it can be 90 bhp or 110 bhp. The 110 bhp has a pipe running from front to back of the engine between the engine top cover and the air cleaner pipe, about the same diameter as the air cleaner pipe. In addition, although I have not confirmed this, the Chassis or VIN number for the 110 has the letters RHZ in it and the 90 bhp has RHY.
