Convert horsepower (water) to femtowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to femtowatt [fW], or Convert femtowatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 7.4604e+17 fW. To convert horsepower (water) to femtowatt, multiply the value by 7.4604e+17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fW = 1.3404e-18 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) = 7.4604e+17 fW
- 1 fW = 1.3404e-18 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 7.4604e+18 fW
- 100 hp (water) = 7.4604e+19 fW
How to Convert Horsepower (Water) to Femtowatt
1 hp (water) = 7.46043e+17 fW
Example: convert 15 hp (water) to fW:
15 hp (water) = 15 × 7.46043e+17 fW = 1.1190645e+19 fW

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.
Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
