Converting from Foot of Water (ftH₂0) to Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0) in Pressure

What is Foot of Water (ftH₂0)

The unit "Foot of Water" (ftH₂0) is a measurement used in hydrostatic pressure to represent the pressure exerted by a column of water that is 1 foot in height at a specific gravity of 1.0.

What is Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0)

Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0) is another unit of pressure commonly used in hydrostatic pressure calculations. It refers to the pressure exerted by a column of water that is 1 centimeter in height at a specific gravity of 1.0.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas are as follows:

• To convert from ftH₂0 to cmH₂0: cmH2​0=ftH2​0×30.48

• To convert from cmH₂0 to ftH₂0: ftH2​0=cmH2​0×0.0328084

Examples

1. Converting 14 ftH₂0 to cmH₂0:

14ftH2​0=14×30.48=426.72cmH2​0

2. Converting 4 cmH₂0 to ftH₂0:

4cmH2​0=4×0.0328084=0.1312336ftH2​0

3. Converting 16 ftH₂0 to cmH₂0:

16ftH2​0=16×30.48=487.68cmH2​0

4. Converting 14 cmH₂0 to ftH₂0:

14cmH2​0=14×0.0328084=0.4593176ftH2​0

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas to easily convert between Foot of Water (ftH₂0) and Centimeter of Water (cmH₂0) in pressure calculations.
