How to Convert Kilopascals to Centimeters of Water
Converting kilopascals (kPa) to centimeters of water (cmH₂O) is a common conversion. One kilopascal is equal to approximately 10.19716 cmH₂O.
Formula
cmH₂O = Kilopascals × 10.19716
or
cmH₂O = kPa × 10.19716
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in kilopascals
- Multiply that number by 10.19716
- The result is the equivalent amount in centimeters of water
Examples
- 1 kPa = 10.19716 cmH₂O
- 10 kPa = 101.9716 cmH₂O
- 0.0980665 kPa = 1 cmH₂O
