Convert horsepower (water) to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 7.4604e-13 PW. To convert horsepower (water) to petawatt, multiply the value by 7.4604e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 1.3404e+12 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-13 PW
- 1 PW = 1.3404e+12 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 7.4604e-12 PW
- 100 hp (water) = 7.4604e-11 PW
How to Convert Horsepower (Water) to Petawatt
1 hp (water) = 7.46043e-13 PW
Example: convert 15 hp (water) to PW:
15 hp (water) = 15 × 7.46043e-13 PW = 1.1190645e-11 PW

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.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
