Hydraulic Horsepower Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the hydraulic horsepower (HHP) is:

\[ HHP = \frac{P \times Q}{1714} \]

Where:

\( HHP \) is the hydraulic horsepower.
\( P \) is the pressure (psi).
\( Q \) is the flow rate (GPM).

What is Hydraulic Horsepower?

Hydraulic horsepower is a measure of the power output of a hydraulic system. It is calculated based on the pressure and flow rate of the hydraulic fluid. This measure is crucial for understanding the efficiency and performance of hydraulic machinery.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Pressure (P): 2000 psi
Flow Rate (Q): 10 GPM

Using the formula to calculate the hydraulic horsepower:

\[ HHP = \frac{2000 \times 10}{1714} = 11.67 \]

This means that the hydraulic horsepower for this example is 11.67.
