Convert horsepower (boiler) to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to horsepower (boiler).
1 hp (boiler) = 98100 dW. To convert horsepower (boiler) to deciwatt, multiply the value by 98100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 1.01936799185e-05 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) = 98100 dW
- 1 dW = 1.01936799185e-05 hp (boiler)
- 10 hp (boiler) = 981000 dW
- 100 hp (boiler) = 9810000 dW
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Deciwatt
1 hp (boiler) = 98100 dW
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to dW:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 98100 dW = 1471500 dW

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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
