What does one picowatt represent?

A picowatt is an SI-derived unit of power equal to one trillionth of a watt, commonly used for measuring extremely small power levels.

What is boiler horsepower used to measure?

Boiler horsepower quantifies the rate of heat needed to evaporate water in boilers and expresses the steaming capacity in industrial steam generation.

Why convert from picowatts to boiler horsepower?
