Convert centimeter water (4°C) to kilopascal

Please provide values below to convert centimeter water (4°C) [cmH2O] to kilopascal [kPa], or Convert kilopascal to centimeter water (4°C).

1 cmH2O = 0.0980638 kPa. To convert centimeter water (4°C) to kilopascal, multiply the value by 0.0980638; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kPa = 10.1974428892 cmH2O). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Quick Reference

  • 1 cmH2O = 0.0980638 kPa
  • 1 kPa = 10.1974428892 cmH2O
  • 10 cmH2O = 0.980638 kPa
  • 100 cmH2O = 9.80638 kPa

How to Convert Centimeter Water (4°c) to Kilopascal

1 cmH2O = 0.0980638 kPa

Example: convert 15 cmH2O to kPa:
15 cmH2O = 15 × 0.0980638 kPa = 1.470957 kPa

Centimeter Water (4°c)

Centimeter water (4°C), symbol cmH2O, is a unit of pressure representing the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter column of water at 4 degrees Celsius.

History/Origin

The centimeter water was developed as a practical unit of pressure measurement in medical and engineering contexts, especially for low-pressure measurements such as respiratory and fluid pressure, originating from the use of water columns in manometers.

Current Use

It is primarily used in medical settings to measure intracranial pressure, respiratory pressures, and other low-pressure applications where precise measurement of small pressure differences is required.


Kilopascal

The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, where one pascal is defined as one newton per square meter.

History/Origin

The kilopascal was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, replacing larger units like the bar in many applications.

Current Use

The kilopascal is widely used today in various fields such as meteorology, engineering, and physics to measure pressure, including tire pressure, blood pressure, and atmospheric pressure.
