Factor1 cmH₂O = 10 kgf/m²

Converter

cmH₂O

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

Result
100kgf/m²

Formula

Formula
kgf/m² = cmH₂O × 10

Multiply any value in centimetres of water column by 10 to obtain the value in kilograms-force per square metre.

Worked example

Convert 10 cmH₂O to kgf/m².

  1. 01Start with 10 cmH₂O.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 10 = 100 kgf/m².
Result10 cmH₂O = 100 kgf/m²

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cmH₂O to kgf/m²?
1 cmH₂O equals 10 kgf/m². To convert, multiply the value in centimetres of water column by 10.
How do I convert 1 cmH₂O to kgf/m²?
1 cmH₂O = 10 kgf/m². For any value, multiply by 10.
How do I convert kgf/m² back to cmH₂O?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1. So 1 kgf/m² = 0.1 cmH₂O.
When would I need to convert centimetre of water column to kilogram-force per square metre?
Pressure conversions between cmH₂O and kgf/m² 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).
