Formula
Formula
mH₂O = psi × 0.7030696
Multiply any value in pounds-force per square inch by 0.7030696 to obtain the value in metres of water column.
Worked example
Convert 100 psi to mH₂O.
- 01Start with 100 psi.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.7030696 = 70.307 mH₂O.
Result100 psi = 70.307 mH₂O

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from psi to mH₂O?
1 psi equals 0.7030696 mH₂O. To convert, multiply the value in pounds-force per square inch by 0.7030696.
How do I convert 1 psi to mH₂O?
1 psi = 0.70307 mH₂O. For any value, multiply by 0.7030696.
How do I convert mH₂O back to psi?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.422334. So 1 mH₂O = 1.42233 psi.
When would I need to convert pound-force per square inch to metre of water column?
Pressure conversions between psi 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).
