Convert horsepower (water) to picowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to picowatt [pW], or Convert picowatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 7.4604e+14 pW. To convert horsepower (water) to picowatt, multiply the value by 7.4604e+14; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pW = 1.3404e-15 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+14 pW
- 1 pW = 1.3404e-15 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 7.4604e+15 pW
- 100 hp (water) = 7.4604e+16 pW
How to Convert Horsepower (Water) to Picowatt
1 hp (water) = 746043000000000 pW
Example: convert 15 hp (water) to pW:
15 hp (water) = 15 × 746043000000000 pW = 1.1190645e+16 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.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
