About this conversion
Power conversions help compare car engines in hp and kW, and air-con units rated in BTU/h against their electrical draw in watts.
A conversion table is handy for common values, but a calculator is faster and avoids interpolation errors for anything in between.
Unit conversion is simply multiplication by a fixed ratio. The ratio between two units of the same quantity never changes, so once you know it you can convert any value in either direction.
