Converting from Kilopascal (kPa) to Foot of Water (ftH₂0)

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the scientific and engineering fields. It is defined as 1,000 pascals, where 1 pascal is equal to 1 newton per square meter. Kilopascal is often used to measure pressure in various systems, including air pressure, hydraulic systems, and more.

What is Foot of Water (ftH₂0)

Foot of Water (ftH₂0) is another unit of pressure typically used in hydrostatic applications. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of water whose height is equal to one foot. This unit is commonly used in the measurement of pressure in water systems, such as pumps, tanks, and pipelines.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Kilopascal (kPa) and Foot of Water (ftH₂0) can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from kPa to ftH₂0: ftH₂0=kPa×0.3345526
• To convert from ftH₂0 to kPa: kPa=ftH₂0×2.989067

Examples

• Converting 14 kPa to ftH₂0: 14kPa=14×0.3345526 ftH₂0=4.683736 ftH₂0
• Converting 10 ftH₂0 to kPa: 10 ftH₂0=10×2.989067 kPa=29.89067 kPa
• Converting 16 kPa to ftH₂0: 16kPa=16×0.3345526 ftH₂0=5.352841 ftH₂0

Use these formulas and examples to easily convert between Kilopascal (kPa) and Foot of Water (ftH₂0) for your pressure measurement needs.
