Convert horsepower (water) to hectowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to hectowatt [hW], or Convert hectowatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 7.46043 hW. To convert horsepower (water) to hectowatt, multiply the value by 7.46043; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 0.134040531176 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) = 7.46043 hW
- 1 hW = 0.134040531176 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 74.6043 hW

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.
Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
