Convert horsepower (water) to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 7460.43 dW. To convert horsepower (water) to deciwatt, multiply the value by 7460.43; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.000134040531176 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) = 7460.43 dW
- 1 dW = 0.000134040531176 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 74604.3 dW

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.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
