Convert picowatt to calorie (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to calorie (th)/second [cal(th)/s], or Convert calorie (th)/second to picowatt.
1 pW = 2.3901e-16 cal(th)/s. To convert picowatt to calorie (th)/second, multiply the value by 2.3901e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal(th)/s = 4.1840e+15 pW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pW = 2.3901e-16 cal(th)/s
- 1 cal(th)/s = 4.1840e+15 pW
- 10 pW = 2.3901e-15 cal(th)/s
- 100 pW = 2.3901e-14 cal(th)/s
How to Convert Picowatt to Calorie (Th)/second
1 pW = 2.39005736137667e-16 cal(th)/s
Example: convert 15 pW to cal(th)/s:
15 pW = 15 × 2.39005736137667e-16 cal(th)/s = 3.58508604206501e-15 cal(th)/s

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.
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 It may still appear in specialized fields or historical references related to thermal energy transfer rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 picowatt in calorie (th)/second?
1 picowatt (pW) = 2.3901e-16 calorie (th)/second (cal(th)/s).
How do you convert picowatt to calorie (th)/second?
Multiply the picowatt value by 2.3901e-16. For example, 25 pW × 2.3901e-16 = 5.9751e-15 cal(th)/s.
