Convert calorie (IT)/second to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 418680 cW. To convert calorie (IT)/second to centiwatt, multiply the value by 418680; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 2.38845896627e-06 cal/s). 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/s = 418680 cW
- 1 cW = 2.38845896627e-06 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 4186800 cW
- 100 cal/s = 41868000 cW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Centiwatt
1 cal/s = 418680 cW
Example: convert 15 cal/s to cW:
15 cal/s = 15 × 418680 cW = 6280200 cW

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
