This calculator allows you to easily convert pressure values from Kilopascal (kPa) to Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC), commonly used in HVAC, water systems, and low-pressure industrial applications.
Definition: Kilopascal (kPa)
The Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure equal to 1000 Pascals (Pa). It is widely used in industrial, scientific, and engineering fields to measure both low and high pressures.
Definition: Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC)
The Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) is a unit that represents the pressure exerted by a 1-millimeter column of water. It is typically used for low-pressure applications such as HVAC systems, water distribution, and ventilation.
Formula for kPa to mmWC Conversion:
Pressure in mmWC=Pressure in kPa×101.9716
How to Convert kPa to mmWC: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 5 kPa.
To convert it to mmWC:
5×101.9716=509.858 mmWC
So, 5 kPa is equal to 509.858 mmWC.
