Convert horsepower (boiler) to petajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to petajoule/second [PJ/s], or Convert petajoule/second to horsepower (boiler).
1 hp (boiler) = 9.8100e-12 PJ/s. To convert horsepower (boiler) to petajoule/second, multiply the value by 9.8100e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PJ/s = 101936799185 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) = 9.8100e-12 PJ/s
- 1 PJ/s = 101936799185 hp (boiler)
- 10 hp (boiler) = 9.8100e-11 PJ/s

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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Petajoule/second
A petajoule per second (PJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one petajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The petajoule (PJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power in terms of energy per unit time has been fundamental in physics, with the watt (W) as the SI base unit. The petajoule per second emerged as a large-scale unit for high-energy power measurements, especially in fields like energy production and scientific research.
Current Use
Petajoule per second is used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify extremely high power levels, such as in nuclear energy, large-scale power generation, and astrophysics. It is also used in theoretical and large-scale energy calculations where conventional units like watts are insufficient.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 horsepower (boiler) in petajoule/second?
1 horsepower (boiler) (hp (boiler)) = 9.8100e-12 petajoule/second (PJ/s).
How do you convert horsepower (boiler) to petajoule/second?
