Convert horsepower (boiler) to hectowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to hectowatt [hW], or Convert hectowatt to horsepower (boiler).
1 hp (boiler) = 98.1 hW. To convert horsepower (boiler) to hectowatt, multiply the value by 98.1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 0.0101936799185 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) = 98.1 hW
- 1 hW = 0.0101936799185 hp (boiler)
- 10 hp (boiler) = 981 hW
- 100 hp (boiler) = 9810 hW
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Hectowatt
1 hp (boiler) = 98.1 hW
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to hW:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 98.1 hW = 1471.5 hW

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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
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.
