What does MBH measure?

MBH measures power as 1,000 British thermal units per hour, commonly used for HVAC heating capacity.

A deciwatt is one tenth of a watt, used for expressing small power outputs in engineering and scientific applications.

Why convert MBH to deciwatt?

To translate large-scale heat power ratings into smaller, precise units suitable for electronic measurements and comparisons.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool when needing to convert large thermal power ratings to smaller scales for precise measurements.
Consider the context, as MBH and deciwatt apply to widely different power ranges.
Apply conversions under steady-state conditions to ensure consistency.

Limitations

MBH is a large non-SI unit mainly used for thermal power; deciwatt suits small power levels, so scale differences are significant.
Rounding errors can affect precision when converting between large MBH and small deciwatt values.
Not designed for transient or non-continuous power measurements.
