Converting from Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0) to Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)

What is Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0)

Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0) is a unit used to measure pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of water that is 1 centimeter in height at a specific gravity of 1.

What is Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)

Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure commonly used in various applications. It represents the force of 1 kilogram-force applied to an area of 1 square centimeter.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between cmH₂0 and kgf/cm² is:

• 1 (cmH₂0) = 0.001 (kgf/cm²)
• 1 (kgf/cm²) = 1000 (cmH₂0)

Other conversion examples include:

• 16 (cmH₂0) = 0.016 (kgf/cm²)
• 16 (kgf/cm²) = 16000 (cmH₂0)
• 3 (cmH₂0) = 0.003 (kgf/cm²)
• 3 (kgf/cm²) = 3000 (cmH₂0)
• 6 (cmH₂0) = 0.006 (kgf/cm²)
• 6 (kgf/cm²) = 6000 (cmH₂0)

Examples

To convert 10 cmH₂0 to kgf/cm²:

10 cmH₂0×0.001=0.01 kgf/cm²

To convert 5 kgf/cm² to cmH₂0:

5 kgf/cm²×1000=5000 cmH₂0

Use these conversion formulas to easily switch between Centimeter of Water and Kilogram per Square Centimeter for your pressure measurement needs.
