Discover the ease of converting kgf/mm² to mmH2O with our expertly crafted converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool ensures accurate conversions from Kilogram-force per square millimeter to Millimeter Water at 4 degrees Celsius.

What are Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Millimeter of water

Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure. It represents the force of one kilogram-force applied to an area of one square millimeter. This unit is not a part of the International System of Units (SI) but is commonly used in engineering and applied sciences, especially in some countries that measure the tensile strength of materials.

Millimeter of water (mmH2O) is a non-SI unit for pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 millimeter in height at the temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (the temperature at which water is densest). It is used in engineering fields dealing with low pressure ranges, such as ventilation and air conditioning.

History of Kilogram-force per square millimeter and Millimeter of water

A brief look back at the history of pressure units reveals the importance of relatability and context in measurement. The kgf/mm² to mmH2O converter stems from the need to compare the force exerted by a kilogram mass with the pressure produced by a millimeter column of water at 4°C, providing a practical and intuitive way to understand pressure in different mediums.
