Convert calorie (IT)/second to hectowatt
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to hectowatt [hW], or Convert hectowatt to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 41.868 hW. To convert calorie (IT)/second to hectowatt, multiply the value by 41.868; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 0.0238845896627 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 = 41.868 hW
- 1 hW = 0.0238845896627 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 418.68 hW
- 100 cal/s = 4186.8 hW
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Hectowatt
1 cal/s = 41.868 hW
Example: convert 15 cal/s to hW:
15 cal/s = 15 × 41.868 hW = 628.02 hW

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.
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.
