What does calorie (th)/hour measure?

It measures thermal power as the rate of heat transfer equal to one thermochemical calorie per hour.

Where is pferdestarke (PS) commonly used?

PS is used mainly to express mechanical power in automotive and some industrial contexts, especially in German-speaking countries.

Can this converter be used for non-thermal power units?

This conversion specifically relates thermal power units to mechanical power units and may not be applicable to other categories.

Browser-based tool requiring no installations for quick and easy conversions.

Examples

Converting 1000 calorie (th)/hour results in approximately 0.0015801824574443 pferdestarke (ps).
A value of 500 calorie (th)/hour equals about 0.00079009122872215 pferdestarke (ps).

Common Use Cases

Reporting minor heat transfer rates in laboratory calorimetry for chemical or sample heat release processes.
Expressing metabolic heat production rates when thermal energy needs translation into mechanical power.
Specifying power ratings of small engines or historical machinery using regional power units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure accurate input of values to maintain precision during conversion due to very small factors involved.
Understand that calorie (th)/hour and pferdestarke (ps) represent different physical quantities: thermal vs. mechanical power.
Use this tool to assist in comparing units across disciplines but be aware of its contextual limitations.

Limitations

Calorie (th)/hour measures small thermal power quantities while pferdestarke (ps) applies to mechanical power, limiting direct practical equivalence.
Pferdestarke is a non-SI unit; some standards or applications may prefer SI power units like watts.
Small numerical conversion factors require careful handling to avoid rounding errors.
