Re: Commonly used shortforms and pnemonics on TAI.

B

BHP - Brake Horse Power(now converted to PS)

PS -pferdestarke (unit of power )

.

Some explaination is needs on the above two terms, as they are most frequently used words in automotive world.

The brake horse power means the amount of available of power from the engine when the vehicle is on the road .(the original power gets shared by gear box )
While horse power means amount of available power when it is yet to be mounted on the vehicle.( no gear box attached)

PS - P stands for ' pferde ', It is a german word meaning 'Horse'
S stands for 'starke' meaning power
So PS is synonymous with HP

The relationship between BHP and PS is that
1BHP =98.6% of 1 PS
For eg. - 88 BHP = 90 PS.



Few more acronyms ...
BP -Bharat Petroleum

HP -Hindustan Petroleum.

IBP -Indo-Burma Petroleum
