Boiler Horsepower Relationships |
|
|---|---|
| 1 BHP = 33,475 BTU/hr | 1 BHP = 746 Watts |
| 1 BHP = 34.5 lbs/hr steam | 1 BTU/hr = 0.29 Watts |
| 1 BHP = 0.07 GPM water | 1 Watt = 3.45 BTU/hr = 9.7 kW/BHP |
Water, Pressure, & Flow |
|
|---|---|
| 1 atm = 14.7 psi | PSIA = PSIG - 14.7 |
| 1 lb/sq.in. = 2.04 in. Hg. @ 62F = 2.31 ft. water @ 62F | g/cm2 = sp. gr. |
| 1 gpm = 0.143 cu.ft/min = 500 lb/hr x sp. gr. | 27.7 in. water = 1 psi |
| 1 cu.ft/min (cfm) = 448.8 gal/hr (gph) | 2.31 ft. head = 1 psi |
| 1 centipoise = 2.42 lb/ft.hr. | |
| 1 lb/ft.sec = 1488 centipoises = 3600 lb/ft.hr. |
Work & Power |
|
|---|---|
| 1 BHP = 0.745 kW = 42.4 BTU/min = 2544 BTU/hr = 33000 ft.lb/min | 1 kW HR = 1000 Watt HR = 3413 BTU |
| 1 kW = 1000 Watts (W) = 1.341 BHP = 56.88 BTU/min = 3413 BTU/hr | 1 BTU = 0.029 kW HR = 778 ft.lb. = 0.555 pcu (lb C) |
Metric Conversion Factors |
|
|---|---|
| Steam Flow 1 HP = 34.5 lb/hr = 2200 tons/hr = 2.2 kg/hr (steam) |
Temperature 100F = 37.78C |
| Pressure 1 PSI = .0689 bar = .0703 kg/cm2 = 703.23 kg/m2 |
