About Converting Microwatts to Ton of refrigerations
Microwatt and Ton of refrigeration both measure a quantity used in structural or mechanical engineering — commonly stress, pressure, force, torque, power, or energy — where converting between the unit conventions used in different regions, industries, or equipment specifications is a routine part of design work. Specifically: Microwatt is 0.000001 watt units, and cooling power equal to 12,000 BTU/h.
Formula
ton of refrigerations = microwatts × 2.843451e-10
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microwatt equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3516.85284207 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microwatt-to-ton of refrigeration factor of 2.843451e-10.
Simple example
1 uW × 2.843451e-10 = 2.843451e-10 TR
1 microwatt = 2.843451e-10 ton of refrigerations.
Real-world example
100 uW × 2.843451e-10 = 2.843451e-8 TR
100 microwatts = 2.843451e-8 ton of refrigerations.

Frequently asked questions
How many ton of refrigerations are in 1 microwatt?
1 microwatt equals 2.843451e-10 ton of refrigerations, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microwatt to ton of refrigeration?
Multiply the microwatt value by 2.843451e-10. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert ton of refrigeration back to microwatt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 ton of refrigeration equals 3,516,852,842 microwatts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a microwatt?
Microwatt (uW) is a unit of engineering.
What is a ton of refrigeration?
Ton of refrigeration (TR) is a unit of engineering.
Is the microwatt to ton of refrigeration conversion exact?
Yes. Both microwatt and ton of refrigeration are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 2.843451e-10 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Why do engineering unit conventions vary so much by region and industry?
Pressure, force, and stress can be expressed in metric (pascal, newton), US customary (psi, pound-force), or older and industry-specific units (atmosphere, torr, kip) depending on the country, industry, and even the equipment manufacturer, which is why engineers routinely need to convert between them when working across specs from different sources.
