Convert horsepower (water) to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 74604.3 cW. To convert horsepower (water) to centiwatt, multiply the value by 74604.3; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 1.34040531176e-05 hp (water)). 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 (water) = 74604.3 cW
- 1 cW = 1.34040531176e-05 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 746043 cW
- 100 hp (water) = 7460430 cW
How to Convert Horsepower (Water) to Centiwatt

Horsepower (Water)
Horsepower (water) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of water flow or energy transfer, based on the power exerted by a water stream.
History/Origin
The water horsepower originated in the 19th century as a way to quantify the power of water wheels and turbines, with its value historically linked to the energy produced by a specific flow of water under certain conditions.
Current Use
Today, water horsepower is primarily used in hydraulic engineering and water power industries to specify the capacity of water turbines, pumps, and other hydraulic equipment.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
