Converting from Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) to Inch of Water (inH₂0)

What is Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²)

Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure that represents the force in newtons exerted on an area of one square centimeter. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify pressure levels.

What is Inch of Water (inH₂0)

Inch of water (inH₂0) is a unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) to measure small pressure differences. It represents the amount of pressure exerted by a one-inch column of water at a specific gravity of 1.0.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between N/cm² and inH₂0 can be done using the following formulas:

N/cm²=inH₂0×0.02490889

inH₂0=N/cm²×40.14631

Examples

1. Converting 3 N/cm² to inH₂0:

3N/cm²=3×40.14631=120.4389inH₂0

2. Converting 17 inH₂0 to N/cm²:

17inH₂0=17×0.02490889=0.4234511N/cm²

3. Converting 4 N/cm² to inH₂0:

4N/cm²=4×40.14631=160.5852inH₂0

Performing these simple conversions can help in understanding and comparing pressure values between N/cm² and inH₂0.
