FAQ

What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to cmH₂O?
1 dyn/cm² equals 0.001019716 cmH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre by 0.001019716.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to cmH₂O?
1 dyn/cm² = 0.00101972 cmH₂O. For any value, multiply by 0.001019716.
How do I convert cmH₂O back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 980.665. So 1 cmH₂O = 980.665 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre to centimetre of water column?
Pressure conversions between dyn/cm² and cmH₂O 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).
