Converting from Meter of Water (mH₂0) to Pound Per Square Foot (psf) in Pressure

What is Meter of Water (mH₂0)

Meter of Water (mH₂0) is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and fluid dynamics to measure pressure relative to the depth of a fluid. It represents the pressure exerted by a column of water of one meter in height.

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per Square Foot (psf) is a unit of pressure that measures the force exerted on a surface in pounds per square foot. It is often used in construction and geotechnical engineering to quantify the pressure distribution on a foundation or structure.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Meter of Water (mH₂0) and Pound per Square Foot (psf) can be calculated using the following formulas:

• To convert mH₂0 to psf: psf=mH2​0×204.8161

• To convert psf to mH₂0: mH2​0=psf×0.004882428

Examples

1. Converting 10 mH₂0 to psf:

10×204.8161=2048.161psf

2. Converting 14 psf to mH₂0:

14×0.004882428=0.06835399mH2​0

3. Converting 4 mH₂0 to psf:

4×204.8161=819.2646psf

4. Converting 14 mH₂0 to psf:

14×204.8161=2867.426psf

By utilizing these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between Meter of Water (mH₂0) and Pound per Square Foot (psf) to meet your pressure measurement needs.
