Convert horsepower (metric) to calorie (IT)/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) [hp (metric)] to calorie (IT)/second [cal/s], or Convert calorie (IT)/second to horsepower (metric).
1 hp (metric) = 0.175670858412 cal/s. To convert horsepower (metric) to calorie (IT)/second, multiply the value by 0.175670858412; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal/s = 5.69246378733 hp (metric)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Horsepower (Metric)
The metric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power defined as exactly 735.5 watts, used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
History/Origin
The metric horsepower was introduced in the late 19th century as a standardized unit to quantify engine power, primarily in Europe, replacing traditional units like the imperial horsepower. It was adopted for consistency in engineering and automotive industries.
Current Use
Today, the metric horsepower is used mainly in automotive, engineering, and industrial contexts to specify engine power, especially in regions that utilize the metric system. It is also used in some countries for rating motor and engine capacities.
Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
