Water Horsepower (WHP) Calculator

Calculate Water Horsepower (WHP)



Formula

To calculate the Water Horsepower (WHP):

\[ WHP = \frac{Q \times H}{3960} \]

Where:

WHP Definition

WHP is short for water horsepower. Water horsepower is defined as the amount of work per unit of time that a pump or flow of water can generate.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ WHP = \frac{500 \times 100}{3960} = 12.63 \text{ hp} \]

The Water Horsepower is 12.63 hp.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ WHP = \frac{300 \times 150}{3960} = 11.36 \text{ hp} \]

The Water Horsepower is 11.36 hp.
