cmH₂Otokgf/cm²

Convert centimetres of water column (cmH₂O) to kilograms-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm²).

Factor1 cmH₂O = 0.001 kgf/cm²

Converter

cmH₂O

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
1kgf/cm²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kgf/cm² = cmH₂O × 0.001

Multiply any value in centimetres of water column by 0.001 to obtain the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre.

Worked example

Convert 1000 cmH₂O to kgf/cm².

  1. 01Start with 1000 cmH₂O.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 kgf/cm².
Result1000 cmH₂O = 1 kgf/cm²

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cmH₂O to kgf/cm²?
1 cmH₂O equals 0.001 kgf/cm². To convert, multiply the value in centimetres of water column by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 cmH₂O to kgf/cm²?
1 cmH₂O = 0.001 kgf/cm². For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert kgf/cm² back to cmH₂O?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 kgf/cm² = 1000 cmH₂O.
When would I need to convert centimetre of water column to kilogram-force per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between cmH₂O and kgf/cm² are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
