Two common definitions used today are the imperial horsepower as in "hp" or "bhp" which is about 745.7 watts, and the metric horsepower as in "cv" or "PS" which is approximately 735.5 watts. The electric horsepower "hpE" is exactly 746 watts, while the boiler horsepower is 9809.5 or 9811 watts, depending on the exact year.

Brake horsepower per cubic centimeter or (bhp/cc) is a figure of merit that is used to indicate the 'state of tune' of an internal combustion engine. It is defined as the ratio of the engine's net power output to its displacement, the internal size. Power is measured at its rated speed and full throttle.
In traditional units, it measures fuel consumption in pounds per hour divided by the brake horsepower, lb/(hp⋅h); in SI units, this corresponds to the inverse of the units of specific energy, kg/J = s 2 /m 2.
Although BHP's design was projected to produce 300 hp (224 kW) the engine's output came in below expectations. The original name given to the engine was the 200 hp BHP. The engine's name was later changed to the 230 hp BHP to better reflect its actual output. Finally, the engine's name was changed to the Galloway Adriatic. [6]
The 390 cu in (6.4 L) AMC V8 produced 325 hp (330 PS; 242 kW) and 420 lb⋅ft (569 N⋅m; 58 kg⋅m) of torque in all except the Rebel Machine. This muscle car engine was rated at 340 hp (345 PS; 254 kW) and 430 lb⋅ft (583 N⋅m; 59 kg⋅m) of torque due to a different intake. Production only lasted one year (1970) before it was stroked to ...
Output was rated at 90 to 115 bhp (67 to 86 kW; 91 to 117 PS) for the US market and 130 to 160 PS (96 to 118 kW; 128 to 158 bhp) for the European market, depending on the model. In Europe, the 2.8 was produced with carburetor 132 PS (97 kW; 130 bhp), mechanical fuel injection ( Bosch K-Jetronic , 160 PS (118 kW; 158 bhp), and electronic ...
1.98 × 10 6 ft⋅lbf A horsepower-hour (symbol: hp⋅h ) is an outdated unit of energy , not used in the International System of Units . The unit represents an amount of work a horse is supposed capable of delivering during an hour (1 horsepower integrated over a time interval of an hour).
