Convert horsepower (boiler) to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to horsepower (boiler).
1 hp (boiler) = 981 daW. To convert horsepower (boiler) to dekawatt, multiply the value by 981; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 0.00101936799185 hp (boiler)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp (boiler) = 981 daW
- 1 daW = 0.00101936799185 hp (boiler)
- 10 hp (boiler) = 9810 daW
- 100 hp (boiler) = 98100 daW
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Dekawatt
1 hp (boiler) = 981 daW
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to daW:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 981 daW = 14715 daW

Horsepower (Boiler)
Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer, specifically indicating the power of steam boilers, equivalent to approximately 33,475 watts.
History/Origin
The boiler horsepower was developed in the late 19th century to standardize the measurement of steam boiler capacity, primarily in the United States, and has been used historically in engineering and industrial applications to quantify boiler power output.
Current Use
Today, boiler horsepower is primarily used in the United States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
