Converting from Millimeter of Water (mmH₂O) to Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²)

What is Millimeter of Water (mmH₂O)

Millimeter of Water (mmH₂O) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water 1 millimeter high at a specified temperature. It is commonly used in applications where low pressure measurements are required.

What is Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²)

Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure that represents one newton of force applied over an area of one square centimeter. It is a larger unit compared to mmH₂O and is used in various engineering and scientific fields.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion factors are:

• 1 (mmH₂O) = 0.000980665 (N/cm²)
• 1 (N/cm²) = 1019.716 (mmH₂O)

Other conversion examples include:

• 9 (mmH₂O) = 0.008825985 (N/cm²)
• 9 (N/cm²) = 9177.446 (mmH₂O)
• 4 (mmH₂O) = 0.00392266 (N/cm²)
• 4 (N/cm²) = 4078.865 (mmH₂O)
• 10 (mmH₂O) = 0.00980665 (N/cm²)
• 10 (N/cm²) = 10197.16 (mmH₂O)

Examples

To convert 5 mmH₂O to N/cm², you can use the formula:

N/cm2=mmH2O×0.000980665

Substitute the value:

N/cm2=5×0.000980665=0.004903325(N/cm2)

For converting 7 N/cm² to mmH₂O, use:

mmH2O=N/cm2×1019.716

Calculate:

mmH2O=7×1019.716=7133.012(mmH2O)
