Converting from Atmosphere (atm) to Centimeter of Water (cmH₂O)

What is Atmosphere (atm)

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the field of physics and chemistry. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 760 mm high at 0°C at sea level.

What is Centimeter of Water (cmH₂O)

Centimeter of water (cmH₂O) is also a unit of pressure, specifically the pressure exerted by a column of water one centimeter high at the standard acceleration of gravity. This unit is often used in medical settings to measure pressure in the respiratory system.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from atm to cmH₂O, you can use the formula:

cmH₂O=atm×1033.227

To convert from cmH₂O to atm, you can use the formula:

atm=1033.227cmH₂O​

Examples

• 6 atm is equal to 6199.365 cmH₂O
• 11 atm is equal to 11365.5 cmH₂O
• 14 cmH₂O is equal to 0.01354978 atm
