FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/cm² to inH₂O?
1 kgf/cm² equals 393.7008 inH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 393.7008.
How do I convert 1 kgf/cm² to inH₂O?
1 kgf/cm² = 393.701 inH₂O. For any value, multiply by 393.7008.
How do I convert inH₂O back to kgf/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.00254. So 1 inH₂O = 0.00254 kgf/cm².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square centimetre to inch of water column (4 °C)?
Pressure conversions between kgf/cm² and inH₂O 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).
