Convert calorie (IT)/hour to microwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/hour [cal/h] to microwatt [µW], or Convert microwatt to calorie (IT)/hour.
1 cal/h = 1163000 µW. To convert calorie (IT)/hour to microwatt, multiply the value by 1163000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µW = 8.59845227859e-07 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 = 1163000 µW
- 1 µW = 8.59845227859e-07 cal/h
- 10 cal/h = 11630000 µW
- 100 cal/h = 116300000 µW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/hour to Microwatt
1 cal/h = 1163000 µW

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.
Microwatt
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt, used to measure very small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The microwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to provide standardized units for small quantities of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, gaining prominence with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microwatts are used in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and biomedical engineering to quantify low power levels in devices, sensors, and circuits.
