Convert horsepower (water) to milliwatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to milliwatt [mW], or Convert milliwatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 746043 mW. To convert horsepower (water) to milliwatt, multiply the value by 746043; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mW = 1.34040531176e-06 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) = 746043 mW
- 1 mW = 1.34040531176e-06 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 7460430 mW

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.
Milliwatt
A milliwatt (mW) is a unit of power equal to one thousandth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The milliwatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring low power levels, especially in electronics and telecommunications, with its usage expanding alongside the adoption of the watt as the standard power unit.
Current Use
Milliwatts are commonly used today in electronics, audio equipment, and wireless communication devices to specify power levels, such as in battery-powered devices, LED brightness, and signal transmission power.
