What is a centijoule per second (cJ/s)?

A centijoule per second is a power unit equal to one hundredth of a joule transferred per second, equivalent to 0.01 watt, used to measure very small power levels.

What does metric horsepower represent?

Metric horsepower is a power unit equal to exactly 735.49875 watts, commonly used to express mechanical power in engines and motors.

Why convert from centijoule/second to horsepower (metric)?

Converting allows users to translate very small power measurements into a larger, practical mechanical power unit for easier comparison with engines and industrial motors.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values of power measured in centijoule per second (cJ/s), typically used for low power applications, into metric horsepower, a widely recognized unit for mechanical power in engines and motors.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in centijoule per second (cJ/s) into the input field.
Select 'centijoule/second [cJ/s]' as the original unit.
Choose 'horsepower (metric)' as the target unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent power in metric horsepower.

Key Features

Converts very small power measurements (cJ/s) to metric horsepower accurately.
Useful for scientific, engineering, and industrial applications.
Browser-based and easy to use interface.
Provides quick results for comparing sensor outputs with motor power ratings.

Examples

100 cJ/s equals 0.00135962 horsepower (metric).
500 cJ/s equals 0.0067981 horsepower (metric).

Common Use Cases

Specifying power consumption of low-power sensors and wearable devices.
Reporting output levels of photodiodes and LEDs in laboratory testing.
Characterizing power harvested from micro-energy sources like vibration or thermoelectric systems.
Rating engine power in vehicles for European and Asian markets.
Comparing small industrial motor or pump specifications in technical datasheets.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter to relate tiny power outputs to conventional mechanical power ratings.
Ensure careful input of small values due to the large unit scale difference.
Verify context suitability when converting, as this is ideal for low power ranges.

Limitations

Converted values often result in very small decimal numbers due to the unit scale difference.
Not suitable for converting high power values directly because centijoule/second represents very small power levels.
Requires precision since the units measure vastly different power magnitudes.
