What does horsepower (boiler) measure?

Horsepower (boiler) quantifies the thermal power needed to evaporate water using steam boilers, standardized for rating boiler capacity.

What is a petajoule per second used for?

A petajoule per second measures extremely large power rates such as national energy flows or astrophysical power budgets.

Why is the converted value so small?

Because horsepower (boiler) is much smaller than petajoule per second, resulting conversions produce very small numbers suitable for vastly different scales.
