What does horsepower (water) represent?

Horsepower (water) measures the mechanical power involved in moving a volume of water against a height or head, often used in hydraulic and pump system calculations.

When should I use microwatt [µW] as a unit?

Microwatt [µW] is appropriate for quantifying very small power levels such as in low-power electronics, biomedical devices, and optical sensors.

Is this conversion exact for all situations?

The conversion is theoretical; in practice, efficiencies and losses mean actual power values may vary.
