Please provide values below to convert millimeter water (4°C) [mmH2O] to kip-force/square inch [kipf/in^2], or Convert kip-force/square inch to millimeter water (4°C).
How to Convert Millimeter Water (4°c) to Kip-Force/square Inch
1 mmH2O = 1.42229517117636e-06 kipf/in^2
Example: convert 15 mmH2O to kipf/in^2:
15 mmH2O = 15 × 1.42229517117636e-06 kipf/in^2 = 2.13344275676454e-05 kipf/in^2

Millimeter Water (4°c)
Millimeter water (4°C) is a unit of pressure measuring the height of a water column at 4 degrees Celsius that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of water columns to measure pressure, particularly in hydrology and medical applications, with standardization based on the density of water at 4°C.
Current Use
It is primarily used in medical and scientific contexts to measure low pressures, such as intracranial pressure, respiratory pressures, and in calibration of pressure sensors.
Kip-Force/square Inch
Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kip applied over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The kip-force is a unit of force used primarily in the United States, especially in engineering contexts, where it is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. The unit kip-force per square inch has been used in structural engineering to measure stress and pressure in materials and structures.
Current Use
Today, kipf/in^2 is primarily used in the United States within structural engineering and material testing to specify stress levels, though the SI unit Pascal is more common internationally.
