Convert pferdestarke to calorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert pferdestarke [ps] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to pferdestarke.
1 ps = 0.175788420172 cal(th)/s. To convert pferdestarke to calorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 0.175788420172; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal(th)/s = 5.6886568468 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Today, the pferdestarke is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit watt, but it is still occasionally used in historical references and in certain European countries for measuring engine power.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 (Th)/second
Calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which thermal calories are transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie (th), or thermochemical calorie, was historically used to quantify energy in thermodynamics and nutrition. Its use in power measurement, such as cal(th)/s, emerged in scientific contexts to express thermal energy transfer rates before the adoption of the watt as the standard SI unit.
Current Use
Today, cal(th)/s is rarely used in scientific practice, having been largely replaced by watts (W). It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
