What does horsepower (boiler) measure?

Horsepower (boiler) measures the thermal power needed to evaporate a specific quantity of water per hour in steam boilers.

Why convert horsepower (boiler) to centijoule/second?

Conversion allows expression of large thermal power in very small, precise SI-based units for scientific and electronic applications.

Is this conversion common in everyday power measurement?

No, it is mostly used in specialized fields involving steam boilers and detailed small-scale power measurements.
