Convert horsepower (boiler) to picowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to picowatt [pW], or Convert picowatt to horsepower (boiler).
1 hp (boiler) = 9.8100e+15 pW. To convert horsepower (boiler) to picowatt, multiply the value by 9.8100e+15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pW = 1.0194e-16 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+15 pW
- 1 pW = 1.0194e-16 hp (boiler)
- 10 hp (boiler) = 9.8100e+16 pW
- 100 hp (boiler) = 9.8100e+17 pW
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Picowatt
1 hp (boiler) = 9.81e+15 pW
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to pW:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 9.81e+15 pW = 1.4715e+17 pW

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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
