Converting from Millimeter of Water (mmH₂O) to Meter of Water (mH₂O) in Pressure

What is Millimeter of Water (mmH₂O)

Millimeter of Water (mmH₂O) is a unit of pressure commonly used to measure low pressures in the medical field, particularly in respiratory therapy. It represents the height of a column of water that would create a pressure of 1 millimeter when measured at specific conditions.

What is Meter of Water (mH₂O)

Meter of Water (mH₂O) is another unit of pressure, larger than the millimeter of water, often used in various industrial applications including measurement of pressures in pipelines and water treatment systems. It is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 1-meter high column of water.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between mmH₂O and mH₂O is straightforward. We can use the following formulas:

mmH₂O to mH₂O: Multiply by 0.001

mH₂O to mmH₂O: Multiply by 1000

Examples

• 17 mmH₂O is equal to 0.017 mH₂O
• 17 mH₂O is equal to 17000 mmH₂O
• 5 mmH₂O is equal to 0.005 mH₂O
• 5 mH₂O is equal to 5000 mmH₂O
• 15 mmH₂O is equal to 0.015 mH₂O
• 15 mH₂O is equal to 15000 mmH₂O

Use the provided conversions to quickly and accurately convert pressure measurements from millimeter of water to meter of water, or vice versa. This conversion is important in various industries to ensure consistency and accuracy in pressure readings.
