How the formula works
Both hectojoule and petajoule measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in hectojoules by 1.000000000e-13 to get petajoules. To reverse the conversion, multiply a petajoule value by 10000000000000 to get back to hectojoules.
Frequently asked questions
What is Hectojoule (hJ)?
A hectojoule (hJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 102 joules, using the SI hecto prefix.
What is Petajoule (PJ)?
A petajoule (PJ) is a metric-prefixed unit of energy equal to 1015 joules, using the SI peta prefix.
How do I convert hectojoules to petajoules?
Multiply the hectojoule value by 1.000000000e-13 to get the equivalent in petajoules. For example, 5 hJ × 1.000000000e-13 = 5.000000e-13 PJ.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined against the SI base unit for this dimension, so the factor 1.000000000e-13 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert petajoules back to hectojoules?
Yes. Divide the petajoule value by 1.000000000e-13, or multiply it by 10000000000000, to get hectojoules.
