Factor1 kgf/cm² = 1000 cmH₂O

Converter

kgf/cm²

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

Result
1000cmH₂O

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
cmH₂O = kgf/cm² × 1000

Multiply any value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 1000 to obtain the value in centimetres of water column.

Worked example

Convert 1 kgf/cm² to cmH₂O.

  1. 01Start with 1 kgf/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 cmH₂O.
Result1 kgf/cm² = 1000 cmH₂O

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/cm² to cmH₂O?
1 kgf/cm² equals 1000 cmH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 1000.
How do I convert 1 kgf/cm² to cmH₂O?
1 kgf/cm² = 1000 cmH₂O. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert cmH₂O back to kgf/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 cmH₂O = 0.001 kgf/cm².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square centimetre to centimetre of water column?
Pressure conversions between kgf/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).
