Formula
mH₂O = dyn/cm² × 1.019716e-5

Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre by 1.019716e-5 to obtain the value in metres of water column.

Worked example

Convert 100000 dyn/cm² to mH₂O.

  1. 01Start with 100000 dyn/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100000 × 1.019716e-5 = 1.01972 mH₂O.
Result100000 dyn/cm² = 1.01972 mH₂O

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to mH₂O?
1 dyn/cm² equals 1.019716e-5 mH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre by 1.019716e-5.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to mH₂O?
1 dyn/cm² = 1.01972e-5 mH₂O. For any value, multiply by 1.019716e-5.
How do I convert mH₂O back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 98066.5. So 1 mH₂O = 98066.5 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre to metre of water column?
Pressure conversions between dyn/cm² and mH₂O 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).
