Based on exact conversion definitions and rates.
Supports legacy and regional engineering power unit conversions.

Examples

10 Calorie (th)/second equals 0.056886568 Pferdestärke (ps).
100 Calorie (th)/second equals 0.56886568 Pferdestärke (ps).

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat flow in laboratory calorimetry using calorie (th)/second.
Expressing engine power in vehicles using Pferdestärke in German-speaking markets.
Converting older thermal power data to mechanical power units for machinery specification.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the difference between thermal and mechanical power before converting.
Use this converter mainly for legacy data or when dealing with regional unit preferences.
Verify the context to ensure Pferdestärke is appropriate for the power specification.

Limitations

Pferdestärke is not an SI unit and may not suit all engineering contexts.
The units represent different physical properties, so conversions must consider usage context.
Calorie (th)/second is seldom used in modern practice and mainly appears in older data.
