kgf/m²tocmH₂O

Convert kilograms-force per square metre (kgf/m²) to centimetres of water column (cmH₂O).

Factor1 kgf/m² = 0.1 cmH₂O

Converter

kgf/m²

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

Result
10cmH₂O

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
cmH₂O = kgf/m² × 0.1

Multiply any value in kilograms-force per square metre by 0.1 to obtain the value in centimetres of water column.

Worked example

Convert 100 kgf/m² to cmH₂O.

  1. 01Start with 100 kgf/m².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.1 = 10 cmH₂O.
Result100 kgf/m² = 10 cmH₂O

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/m² to cmH₂O?
1 kgf/m² equals 0.1 cmH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square metre by 0.1.
How do I convert 1 kgf/m² to cmH₂O?
1 kgf/m² = 0.1 cmH₂O. For any value, multiply by 0.1.
How do I convert cmH₂O back to kgf/m²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 10. So 1 cmH₂O = 10 kgf/m².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square metre to centimetre of water column?
Pressure conversions between kgf/m² 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).
