mH₂Otokgf/cm²

Convert metres of water column (mH₂O) to kilograms-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm²).

Factor1 mH₂O = 0.1 kgf/cm²

Converter

mH₂O

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

Result
1kgf/cm²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kgf/cm² = mH₂O × 0.1

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

Worked example

Convert 10 mH₂O to kgf/cm².

  1. 01Start with 10 mH₂O.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10 × 0.1 = 1 kgf/cm².
Result10 mH₂O = 1 kgf/cm²

FAQ

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