Formula

Formula
mH₂O = kgf/cm² × 10

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

Worked example

Convert 1 kgf/cm² to mH₂O.

  1. 01Start with 1 kgf/cm².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 10 = 10 mH₂O.
Result1 kgf/cm² = 10 mH₂O

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/cm² to mH₂O?
1 kgf/cm² equals 10 mH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 10.
How do I convert 1 kgf/cm² to mH₂O?
1 kgf/cm² = 10 mH₂O. For any value, multiply by 10.
How do I convert mH₂O back to kgf/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1. So 1 mH₂O = 0.1 kgf/cm².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square centimetre to metre of water column?
Pressure conversions between kgf/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).
