Converting from Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) to Centimeter of Water (cmH₂O)

What is Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the amount of force in Newtons acting on a surface area of one square meter.

What is Centimeter of Water (cmH₂O)

Centimeter of Water (cmH₂O) is a non-SI unit of pressure commonly used in medicine and meteorology. It is the pressure exerted by a column of water one centimeter high at standard gravity.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between N/m² and cmH₂O are as follows:

• To convert from N/m² to cmH₂O: Pressure in cmH₂O=Pressure in N/m²×0.01019716

• To convert from cmH₂O to N/m²: Pressure in N/m²=Pressure in cmH₂O×98.0665

Examples

1. Convert 12 N/m² to cmH₂O:

12N/m²×0.01019716=0.1223659cmH₂O

2. Convert 17 cmH₂O to N/m²:

17cmH₂O×98.0665=1667.13N/m²

3. Convert 2 N/m² to cmH₂O:

2N/m²×0.01019716=0.02039432cmH₂O

Use this information to easily convert between Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) and Centimeter of Water (cmH₂O) for your pressure measurement needs.
