How it works
For the displayed direction, 1 µW equals 0.00000341214163313 BTU IT/h. The engine converts through the shared power base quantity. Horsepower is mechanical unless marked metric. PS equals metric horsepower. Refrigeration tons use the US 12,000 BTU IT/h convention. The multiplier is derived from the two centralized unit factors. Keep full precision until the final result; displayed answers use up to 12 significant digits. SI prefixes specify powers of ten: femto 10^-15, pico 10^-12, nano 10^-9, micro 10^-6, milli 10^-3, kilo 10^3, mega 10^6, giga 10^9 and tera 10^12. Unit symbols are case-sensitive. The numerical conversion uses the ratio of the source and target scale factors.
Worked example
10 µW converts to 0.0000341214163313 BTU IT/h. For the reverse direction, swap the units and enter 0.0000341214163313 BTU IT/h; the result is approximately 10 µW.
