Convert calorie (IT)/hour to hectowatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to hectowatt [hW], or Convert hectowatt to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 0.01163 hW. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to hectowatt, multiply the value by 0.01163; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 85.9845227859 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 = 0.01163 hW
- 1 hW = 85.9845227859 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 0.1163 hW
- 100 cal/h = 1.163 hW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Hectowatt
1 cal/h = 0.01163 hW
Example: convert 15 cal/h to hW:
15 cal/h = 15 × 0.01163 hW = 0.17445 hW

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.
Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
Frequently Asked Questions
