Converting from Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) to Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0)

What is Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is a measure of the amount of force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area. Commonly used in physics and engineering, N/m² is a standard unit for pressure.

What is Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0)

Millimeter of Water (mmH₂0) is a non-SI unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology and fluid dynamics. It is a measure of the pressure exerted by a column of water at a specific temperature and gravity. Despite not being an SI unit, mmH₂0 is widely used in various industries.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert from N/m² to mmH₂0:

mmH₂0 = N/m² x 0.1019716

• To convert from mmH₂0 to N/m²:

N/m² = mmH₂0 x 9.80665

Examples

1. Convert 12 N/m² to mmH₂0:

mmH₂0 = 12 x 0.1019716 = 1.223659

2. Convert 10 mmH₂0 to N/m²:

N/m² = 10 x 9.80665 = 98.0665

3. Convert 3 N/m² to mmH₂0:

mmH₂0 = 3 x 0.1019716 = 0.3059149

4. Convert 5 mmH₂0 to N/m²:

N/m² = 5 x 9.80665 = 49.03325
