SAE gross bhp

SAE gross bhp
An older unit of engine power. In the SAE gross bhp test, a "bare" engine is used, i.e., an engine equipped with only those accessories that are necessary for its operation, such as the oil pump and fuel pump; water pump, alternator, exhaust system, etc. are not used; this results in a higher power rating than achievable by the same engine under real operating conditions
