Converting from Foot of Water (ftH₂0) to Kilogram per Square Meter (kgf/m²) in Pressure

What is Foot of Water (ftH₂0)

1 foot of water (ftH2​O)=304.8 kilogram per square meter (kgf/m2)

Foot of water (ftH₂0) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the field of fluid dynamics. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of water that is 1 foot in height.

What is Kilogram per Square Meter (kgf/m²)

1 kilogram per square meter (kgf/m2)=0.00328084 foot of water (ftH2​O)

Kilogram per square meter (kgf/m²) is a metric unit of pressure. It indicates the force exerted on a surface area of 1 square meter due to a mass of 1 kilogram.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from foot of water to kilogram per square meter:

kgf/m2=ftH2​O×304.8

To convert from kilogram per square meter to foot of water:

ftH2​O=kgf/m2×0.00328084

Examples

1. Converting 5 ftH₂0 to kgf/m²:

5 ftH2​O=5×304.8=1524 kgf/m2
