Click the convert button to get the equivalent power expressed in horsepower (boiler).

Key Features

Converts between two distinct thermal power units accurately using the defined conversion rate.
Supports measurement translation from small heater and appliance thermal outputs to boiler steaming capacity.
Browser-based and easy to use for engineers and technicians in heating and industrial sectors.

Examples

1000 kilocalorie (th)/hour converts to 0.1184793 horsepower (boiler).
5000 kilocalorie (th)/hour converts to 0.5923965 horsepower (boiler).

Common Use Cases

Rating the heat output of small heaters and cooking appliances using a legacy unit.
Expressing and comparing thermal power in heating and cooling load calculations.
Specifying and sizing industrial steam boilers and steam-generation equipment.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure correct unit selection before conversion to maintain accuracy.
Understand that kilocalorie (th)/hour is typically for small-scale power ratings while horsepower (boiler) suits large steam generation capacities.
Use this conversion when comparing legacy thermal units to modern boiler standards for equipment evaluation.

Limitations

Kilocalorie (th)/hour is a legacy unit mainly for low-power devices and may produce very small values when converted to horsepower (boiler).
Different standardizations between units require care to avoid misinterpretation of results.
Conversion is not suitable if precise scientific or engineering accuracy beyond the provided rate is required.
