What are Centimeter and Kilopascal

Definition of Centimeter

A centimeter, symbolized as cm, is a unit of length in the metric system measuring one hundredth of a meter. It's widely used globally for everyday measurements and is an essential unit in various fields such as construction, tailoring, and science.

Definition of Kilopascal

The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure within the International System of Units (SI). One kPa equals 1,000 pascals, which measures force per unit area. It's commonly used in meteorology, engineering, and to denote sub-atmospheric and low differential pressure.

Centimeter to Kilopascal Conversion Table

Centimeter Water (cmH2O) Kilopascal (kPa)
1 cmH2O 0.098 kPa
2 cmH2O 0.196 kPa
3 cmH2O 0.294 kPa
4 cmH2O 0.392 kPa
5 cmH2O 0.490 kPa
6 cmH2O 0.588 kPa
7 cmH2O 0.686 kPa
8 cmH2O 0.784 kPa
9 cmH2O 0.882 kPa
10 cmH2O 0.980 kPa

Conversion of Centimeter to Kilopascal

1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa
1 kPa = 10.1972 cmH2O

Example 1:
Convert 5 cmH2O to kPa:
5 cmH2O = 5 × 0.098 kPa = 0.490 kPa

Example 2:
Convert 10 cmH2O to kPa:
10 cmH2O = 10 × 0.098 kPa = 0.980 kPa

History of Centimeter and Kilopascal

The Centimeter Water 4 Degree Celsius to Kilopascal Converter has its roots in the need to relate water column pressure at a specific temperature to a more universal pressure unit. This conversion is vital in various scientific and engineering applications where precise pressure measurements are required.
