Changes in Small Engine Horsepower Ratings
[Pages:7]Changes in Small Engine Horsepower Ratings
The manufacturers of small engines have adjusted the horsepower that they state their engines make. All of the major manufacturers have now adopted using at least the SAE J1940 Standard 2012 Revision, to rate the horsepower output of their engines. The SAE International J1940 Standard was revised in October 2012 to provide a single method for determining small engine power and torque. This also allows us to accurately compare the power and torque of various engines.
The J1940 Standard utilizes SAE J1995 Standard to determine Gross horsepower and SAE J1349 to determine the net horsepower. The necessity of establishing both gross and net horsepower is due to the engine manufacturers supplying engines to various Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) for end installation. It is common for the OEMs to install their own unique air intake, exhaust, and other accessories to the engine. This is combined with variety in engine speed settings and configurations have created a need for a more consistent method of testing the engine produced by the manufacturer.
The horsepower numbers for most manufacturers have changed, as they have gone to the more accurate method of rating the horsepower of their engines. The performance and output of the engines are unchanged, only the ratings have changed. Some manufacturers have introduced new model numbers, while some have only changed the labels on the engines. Due to this change in rated and stated engine horsepower, we have created this document to allow you to compare the new J1940 rating with the ratings that were previously stated by the manufacturers.
For more information regarding the changes and stated horsepower ratings, please visit the respective engine manufacturer websites.
NOTE:
Kawasaki Critical Power ratings utilize the SAE J2723 Standard for certifying output. This is the same way that automotive manufacturers certify horsepower. SAE J2723 uses either SAE J1995 Standard for gross horsepower or SAE J1349 for net horsepower. This is comparable to the other manufacturers' stated horsepower, but is more consistent and accurate in final applications.
Briggs and Stratton designates the gross output of engines it produces, whether it is by torque or horsepower, but also utilizes SAE J1940 Standard, in accordance with SAE J1995 for gross ratings.
