What does a centiwatt measure?

A centiwatt measures power equal to one hundredth of a watt, typically used for very low power electronic devices.

What is Btu (th)/minute used for?

Btu (th)/minute quantifies the rate of thermal energy transfer, commonly used to express heating or cooling capacities.

Why convert from centiwatt to Btu (th)/minute?

Converting helps compare low electrical power outputs from devices with thermal power measurements in heating and cooling systems.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in centiwatt (cW) you want to convert.
Select centiwatt [cW] as the input unit and Btu (th)/minute as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent thermal power value.

Key Features

Converts centiwatt (cW) to Btu (th)/minute power units accurately.
Supports low-power electrical measurements and thermal energy flow comparison.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions.

Examples

10 cW converts to 0.00569071 Btu (th)/minute.
50 cW converts to 0.02845355 Btu (th)/minute.

Common Use Cases

Expressing power consumption for ultra-low-power electronic devices and sensor nodes.
Rating heating capacity in furnaces, boilers, and HVAC water heaters.
Comparing electrical power with heating or cooling capacities in building energy calculations.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the context matches the type of power—electrical for centiwatt and thermal for Btu (th)/minute.
Use the tool for low-power measurements to avoid inaccuracies from very small conversion values.
Double-check units and conversion direction when comparing electrical and thermal power.

Limitations

The centiwatt unit applies to very low electrical power, while Btu (th)/minute measures thermal power; conversion may not be ideal in all contexts.
Small conversion factors can lead to loss of precision in practical applications.
