Convert calorie (IT)/hour to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 11.63 dW. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to deciwatt, multiply the value by 11.63; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.0859845227859 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 = 11.63 dW
- 1 dW = 0.0859845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 116.3 dW
- 100 cal/h = 1163 dW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Deciwatt
1 cal/h = 11.63 dW
Example: convert 15 cal/h to dW:
15 cal/h = 15 × 11.63 dW = 174.45 dW

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.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
