Convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to hectowatt
Enter a value below to convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute [kcal/min] to hectowatt [hW]. Reverse conversion: Convert hectowatt to kilocalorie (IT)/minute.
1 kcal/min = 0.6978 hW. To convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to hectowatt, multiply the value by 0.6978; to go the other way, divide by it (1 hW = 1.43307537976 kcal/min). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Hectowatt: Quick Reference
- 1 kcal/min = 0.6978 hW
- 1 hW = 1.43307537976 kcal/min
- 10 kcal/min = 6.978 hW

Kilocalorie (It)/minute: Definition and Use
A unit of power representing the energy expended or transferred at a rate of one kilocalorie per minute.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie (kcal) has historically been used to measure energy in food and nutrition, while the minute as a time unit has been standard in timekeeping. Combining these, kcal/min was used to quantify power, especially in contexts like metabolic rates and energy expenditure, before the widespread adoption of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
The kcal/min is primarily used in fields such as physiology and sports science to express rates of energy expenditure, though it is less common today with the adoption of the watt (W) as the standard SI unit of power.
Hectowatt: Definition and Use
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
Kilocalorie (It)/minute to Hectowatt: Frequently Asked Questions
