Convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour [kcal/h] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to kilocalorie (IT)/hour.
1 kcal/h = 116.3 cW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/hour to centiwatt, multiply the value by 116.3; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 0.00859845227859 kcal/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kcal/h = 116.3 cW
- 1 cW = 0.00859845227859 kcal/h
- 10 kcal/h = 1163 cW
- 100 kcal/h = 11630 cW
How to Convert Kilocalorie (It)/hour to Centiwatt
1 kcal/h = 116.3 cW
Example: convert 15 kcal/h to cW:
15 kcal/h = 15 × 116.3 cW = 1744.5 cW

Kilocalorie (It)/hour
Kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories is transferred or converted per hour.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adopted as a unit of energy. Its use in power measurement, such as kcal/h, emerged in contexts like thermal and caloric power calculations, especially in fields related to heating and energy transfer.
Current Use
kcal/h is used in applications involving thermal power, such as heating systems, calorimetry, and energy transfer calculations where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
