Effortlessly Convert Pressure Units: From cmH2O to kgf/cm²

Discover the ease of converting pressure from centimeters water (4°C) to kilograms-force per square centimeter with our accurate online tool, piquing your curiosity to learn more.

What are Centimeter and Kilogram-force

A centimeter, symbolized as cm, is a unit of length in the metric system. It equals one-hundredth of a meter, the International System of Units base unit for length. Centimeters are widely used worldwide for everyday measurements. It is an accessible unit for quantifying small distances and is integral to fields requiring precise measurement, including engineering, construction, and cartography.

Kilogram-force, or kgf, represents a force unit, defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity on the object's surface. It is equivalent to 9.80665 newtons, the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Kilogram-force is commonly used in engineering and physics to measure weights, thrust, tension, and material strength.

History of Centimeter and Kilogram-force

A brief history of the conversion between centimeter water at 4 degrees Celsius (cmH2O) and kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) involves the use of these units in various scientific and engineering fields. While cmH2O is a unit that represents the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter high column of water at 4°C, kgf/cm² measures force per unit area, rooted in the metric system.
