Convert horsepower (boiler) to newton meter/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to newton meter/second [N*m/s], or Convert newton meter/second to horsepower (boiler).
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Newton Meter/second
1 hp (boiler) = 9810 N*m/s
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to N*m/s:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 9810 N*m/s = 147150 N*m/s

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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Newton Meter/second
A unit of power representing one newton meter of work done per second, equivalent to a watt.
History/Origin
The newton meter/second has been used in physics and engineering to quantify power, especially in contexts involving torque and rotational work, aligning with the SI system's units for work and time.
Current Use
Primarily used in engineering and physics to measure power in systems involving torque and rotational motion, often interchangeably with watts in SI units.
