horsepower-hour
[edit]The trouble with hp-h is that it is not wp:mosnum compliant. The hyphen is the problem - it needs to be a space ( ) or a mid-dot (·). Dondervogel 2 (talk) 21:31, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- The original ref, the manufacturer's brochure, uses "hph", which is probably technically correct, if quite unclear. It is trying to say "horsepower times hours". When you mix in grams, as in "g/hph", it makes it a real metric/imperial mess, but that is what the original European ref does. I would be happy converting the whole thing to metric, which would probably come out as "g/kWh" which I think would be sensible to most readers. I guess in the current system, the real question becomes what is the correct abbreviation for "horsepower hours"? - Ahunt (talk) 22:09, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- I agree the metric version would be better expressed in g/kWh or similar. For the horsepower-hour = (1 hp) * (1 h), what is your objection to the symbol hp·h? Dondervogel 2 (talk) 22:25, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- No objection, that is probably the best way to go, given the options. - Ahunt (talk) 22:38, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- OK. I converted the hp-h to hp·h. The metric conversion I gladly leave to you :) Dondervogel 2 (talk) 22:56, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
