What Does IHP Stand For?
IHP stands for Indicated Horsepower
IHP, or Indicated Horsepower, is a measure of the power produced by the engine within a cylinder based on the pressure and volume of the gas during the combustion process. It reflects the engine's theoretical output, calculated from the pressure readings taken during the power stroke, without accounting for losses from friction and other operating inefficiencies. IHP is a crucial parameter in evaluating engine performance and efficiency, often used in engineering and automotive applications.
