Converting from Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) to Pound Per Square Foot (psf) in Pressure

What is Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0)

mmH2​0 is a unit of pressure measurement used in various fields, such as meteorology and medicine. It represents the pressure exerted at the base of a column of water that is 1 millimeter in height.

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

psf is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and construction applications. It signifies the pressure exerted by a one-pound force uniformly distributed over an area of one square foot.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between mmH2​0 and psf can be achieved using the following formulas:

• To convert from mmH2​0 to psf : psf=mmH2​0×0.2048161

• To convert from psf to mmH2​0 : mmH2​0=psf×4.882428

Examples

1. Converting 16 mmH2​0 to psf :

psf=16×0.2048161=3.277058

2. Converting 11 mmH2​0 to psf :

psf=11×0.2048161=2.252978

3. Converting 5 psf to mmH2​0 :

mmH2​0=5×4.882428=24.41214

These examples illustrate the conversion process from mmH2​0 to psf and vice versa, providing a practical understanding of the relationship between these pressure units.
