How to Convert Atmospheres to Centimeters of Water
Converting atmospheres (atm) to centimeters of water (cmH₂O) is a common conversion. One standard atmosphere is equal to approximately 1033.23 cmH₂O.
Formula
cmH₂O = Atmospheres × 1033.23
or
cmH₂O = atm × 1033.23
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in atmospheres
- Multiply that number by 1033.23
- The result is the equivalent amount in centimeters of water
Examples
- 1 atm = 1033.23 cmH₂O
- 0.1 atm = 103.323 cmH₂O
- 0.00096784 atm = 1 cmH₂O
When to Convert Atmospheres to Centimeters of Water
