To convert millimeters of water column (mm-WC) to kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm²), multiply the mm-WC value by 0.0001.
400 mm-WC = 0.040000 kg/cm²
1 mm WC = 0.0001 kg/cm²
Formula: kg/cm² = mm WC × 0.0001
Millimeter Water Column (mm-WC) is used as a unit of pressure, because it is based on the height of a column of water that exerts a specific pressure due to gravity. It is used in pressure measurements of HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems as well as boilers, centrifuges and other equipment. Here are some areas where it is used:
HVAC system pressure measurements
Industrial process controls
Hydraulic system monitoring
Boiler pressure management
Kilogram-force per square centimeter ( kg/cm²) is a pressure unit used in various industrial and engineering applications. Here are some common use cases:
It is used to specify the operating pressure of boilers and steam systems
In hydraulic machinery, kg/cm² is a measure of the force applied per unit area
It is useful in pressure vessels or storage tanks, as it gives a standard internal pressure
In various manufacturing and process industries where accurate pressure measurement is essential to maintain operational safety
1 mm-WC = 0.0001 kg/cm²
Convert 2500 mm WC to kg/cm²:
2500 mm WC × 0.0001 = 0.25 kg/cm²
