How to convert units in general

Conversions can be done either with the "->" conversion operator or with the equivalent "convert" function. The function has three parameters: a quantity, a unit to convert from and a unit to convert to. Likewise the conversion operator uses three values: the quantity and unit to convert from are placed on the left side of the operator while the unit to convert to goes to the right side.

Power Units

The basic unit of power is the watt. All units of power are expressed in terms of this base unit and so measurements can be converted from any one of the following units to any other.

abWatt
CGS unit, 0.1 microwatt: 1e-7 watt
btuPH
BTU per hour: 0.29307107017222 watt
btuPS
BTU per second: 1055.05585262 watt
clusec
centilusec: 1.333e-6 watt
hp [also: horsepower]
550 ft lb: 745.69987158227022 watt
lusec
vacuum pump unit: 0.0001333 watt
statWatt
CGS electrostatic unit: 1e-7 watt
watt
Basic unit of power (joule / second): 1 watt

Sample Conversions of Power Units

Convert watt to horsepower

10 watt -> horsepower = 0.0134102

convert(10; watt; hp) = 0.0134102

Convert watt to BTU per hour

10 watt -> btuPH = 34.121416

convert(10; watt; btuPH) = 34.121416

Convert watt to clusec

10 watt -> clusec = 7,501,875.5

convert(10; watt; clusec) = 7,501,875.5

Convert watt to lusec

10 watt -> lusec = 75,018.755

convert(10; watt; lusec) = 75,018.755

Convert horsepower to watt

10 horsepower -> watt = 7,456.9987

convert(10; horsepower; watt) = 7,456.9987

Convert lusec to watt

10 lusec -> watt = 0.001333

convert(10; lusec; watt) = 0.001333

Convert statWatt to watt

10 statWatt -> watt = 0.000001

convert(10; statWatt; watt) = 0.000001

Convert BTU per second to horsepower

10 btuPS -> HP = 14.148532

convert(10; btuPS; horsepower) = 14.148532

Convert statWatt to clusec

10 statWatts -> clusecs = 0.7501875

convert(10; statWatt; clusec) = 0.7501875

Convert horsepower to BTU per second

10 hp -> btuPS = 7.067871

convert(10; horsepower; btuPS) = 7.067871

Convert horsepower to BTU per hour

10 horsepower -> btuPH = 25,444.336

convert(10; HPs; btuPHs) = 25,444.336
