mH₂Otokgf/m²

Convert metres of water column (mH₂O) to kilograms-force per square metre (kgf/m²).

Factor1 mH₂O = 1000 kgf/m²

Converter

mH₂O

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

Result
1000kgf/m²

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
kgf/m² = mH₂O × 1000

Multiply any value in metres of water column by 1000 to obtain the value in kilograms-force per square metre.

Worked example

Convert 1 mH₂O to kgf/m².

  1. 01Start with 1 mH₂O.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 kgf/m².
Result1 mH₂O = 1000 kgf/m²

FAQ

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