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

Result
1mH₂O

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
mH₂O = kgf/m² × 0.001

Multiply any value in kilograms-force per square metre by 0.001 to obtain the value in metres of water column.

Worked example

Convert 1000 kgf/m² to mH₂O.

  1. 01Start with 1000 kgf/m².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 mH₂O.
Result1000 kgf/m² = 1 mH₂O

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/m² to mH₂O?
1 kgf/m² equals 0.001 mH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square metre by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 kgf/m² to mH₂O?
1 kgf/m² = 0.001 mH₂O. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert mH₂O back to kgf/m²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 mH₂O = 1000 kgf/m².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square metre to metre of water column?
Pressure conversions between kgf/m² 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).
