How to Convert Pascals to Centimeters of Water
Converting pascals (Pa) to centimeters of water (cmH₂O) is a common conversion in various fields. One pascal is equal to approximately 0.01019716 cmH₂O.
Formula
cmH₂O = Pascals × 0.01019716
or
cmH₂O = Pa × 0.01019716
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in pascals
- Multiply that number by 0.01019716
- The result is the equivalent amount in centimeters of water
Examples
- 1 Pa = 0.01019716 cmH₂O
- 100 Pa = 1.019716 cmH₂O
- 98.0665 Pa = 1 cmH₂O
When to Convert Pascals to Centimeters of Water
This conversion is commonly used in medical applications (e.g., blood pressure), HVAC systems, and hydrology to measure pressure or fluid levels.
