Descriptions
- Power - It is the amount of energy consumed per unit time
- W - Watt (1 W = 1 VA x Power Factor)
- kW - Kilowatt (1000 W)
- MW - Megawatt (1000000 W)
- mW - Milliwatt (0.001 W
- erg/s - Erg per second (originated in the CGS system of units)
- hp - Mechanical Horsepower (550 ft.lbf/s)
- hp (metric) - Metric horsepower (75 kgf.m/s ≈ 98.6% of the Mechanical Horsepower)
- hp (boiler) - Boiler Horsepower
- hp (electric) - Electrical Horsepower (746 W)
- hp (U.K.) - UK Horsepower (exactly 745.7 W)
- hp (water) - Water Horsepower (1 Whp = 746,043 W, considering the density of water = 8 1/3 lb/gal (US))
- CV - Cavalo-Vapor or Cheval-Vapeur (1 CV = 1 hp (metric))
- kcalIT/s - International Steam Table kilocalories per second
- kcalth/s - Thermochemical kilocalories per second
- kcal/s - "Mean" kilocalories per second
- kgf.m/s - kilogram-force metre per second
- ft.lbf/s - Foot-pound force per second
- BTUIT/s - International Steam Table BTU per second
- BTUth/s - Thermochemical BTU per second
- BTU/s - "Mean" BTU per second
- BTUIT/h - International Steam Table BTU per hour
- BTUth/h - Thermochemical BTU per hour
- BTU/h - "Mean" BTU per hour
- ton (Refrig) - Ton of refrigeration (12000 BTUIT/h)
- poncelet - Poncelet (100 kgf.m/s)
- VA - Volt-Ampère (1 VA = 1 W / Power Factor)
- kVA - Kilovolt-Ampere (1 kVA = 1 kW / Power Factor)
Instructions
- Enter the value in one of the fields of the "From" column, corresponding to the unit of measurement you want to convert
- Click the "Convert >>" button or hit the "Enter" key
- See converted values in the fields of the "To" column, for the indicated units of measurement
- To convert VA, or kVA, it is necessary to inform the Power Factor or the Phase Angle (Ø) using the respective fields
- If some fields have 0 (zero) as value, with yellow background, it means that the rounding of the results "truncated" the number. In this case increase the maximum number of decimal places defined or uncheck the option to set the maximum number of decimal places
- Very small results may possibly be presented in Scientific Notation (e.g, 5.43e-8, corresponds to 5.43 x 10-8, which is equal to 0.0000000543)
- To change format of the results use the various formatting options in the Configurations Area
- To exclude from the results the units of measurement you do not want to convert, select the corresponding check box(es) in the exclusion column (
) - To transfer a result to one of the temporary memories of WebCalc, select the result to be transferred ("Memo" column), select the memory and the type of operation, and click the "Transfer >>" button
- Click the "Print" button to open the impression page
