Convert calorie (IT)/hour to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 0.1163 daW. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to dekawatt, multiply the value by 0.1163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 8.59845227859 cal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal/h = 0.1163 daW
- 1 daW = 8.59845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 1.163 daW
- 100 cal/h = 11.63 daW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Dekawatt
1 cal/h = 0.1163 daW
Example: convert 15 cal/h to daW:
15 cal/h = 15 × 0.1163 daW = 1.7445 daW

Calorie (It)/hour
Calorie per hour (cal/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or consumed over time.
History/Origin
The calorie has been used historically in nutrition and thermodynamics to quantify energy. The cal/h unit emerged in contexts where energy transfer rates were expressed in calories per hour, particularly in heating and metabolic studies.
Current Use
Cal/h is used in specific scientific and engineering applications, such as measuring heat transfer rates, metabolic rates, and in some thermal engineering contexts, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
