Convert pferdestarke to calorie (IT)/second
Please provide values below to convert pferdestarke [ps] to calorie (IT)/second [cal/s], or Convert calorie (IT)/second to pferdestarke.
1 ps = 0.175670858412 cal/s. To convert pferdestarke to calorie (IT)/second, multiply the value by 0.175670858412; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal/s = 5.69246378733 ps). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Pferdestarke
The pferdestarke (ps) is a unit of power used primarily in Germany, equivalent to 735.5 watts.
History/Origin
The pferdestarke was introduced in the late 19th century as a metric unit of horsepower, named after the German word for 'horsepower'. It was used to measure engine power, especially in automotive and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.
Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
