Convert horsepower (boiler) to attowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to attowatt [aW], or Convert attowatt to horsepower (boiler).
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Attowatt
1 hp (boiler) = 9.81e+21 aW
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to aW:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 9.81e+21 aW = 1.4715e+23 aW

Horsepower (Boiler)
Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer, specifically indicating the power of steam boilers, equivalent to approximately 33,475 watts.
History/Origin
The boiler horsepower was developed in the late 19th century to standardize the measurement of steam boiler capacity, primarily in the United States, and has been used historically in engineering and industrial applications to quantify boiler power output.
Current Use
Today, boiler horsepower is primarily used in the United States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
