How to Convert psi to Meter of Head?

Converting from psi to Meter of Head is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure accurate conversions from pound force per square inch to meter of head:

  • Select the Pound Force Per Square Inch Value: Start by determining the pound force per square inch (psi) value you want to convert into meter of head (Meter of Head). This is your starting point.
  • Multiply by the Conversion Factor: To calculate pound force per square inch to equivalent meter of head amount, multiply the selected psi value by 0.703069549744.
  • Illustration of Multiplication:
  • 1 psi = 0.703069549744 Meter of Head
  • 10 psi = 7.030695497 Meter of Head
  • 100 psi = 70.306954974 Meter of Head
  • Find the Conversion Result: The result of this multiplication is your converted value in meter of head unit. This represents the same pressure but in a different unit.
  • Save Your Meter of Head Value: After converting, remember to save the result. This value represents the pressure you initially measured, now expressed in meter of heads.
  • Alternative Method – Division: If you prefer not to multiply, you can achieve the same conversion by dividing the pound force per square inch value by 1.422334391. This alternative method also gives you the correct pressure in meter of heads.
  • Illustration of Division:
  • Meter of Head = psi ÷ 1.422334391

What is Pressure?

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area: P = F / A. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Practical applications use larger units: the bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, close to standard atmospheric pressure), atmosphere (atm) (1 atm = 101,325 Pa), and psi (pounds per square inch, used in the US for tire and gas pressures). Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), also called torr.

What is Pound Force Per Square Inch?

The pound force per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/in2) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch. It is one of the most widely used pressure units in the United States for measuring tire pressure, hydraulic systems, compressed gases, and industrial equipment. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the psi remains the preferred unit in many engineering applications. More information is available in the pounds per square inch article.

One pound force per square inch is equal to 6,894.76 pascals, 6.89476 kilopascals, 0.0689476 bar, 0.068046 standard atmosphere, and 0.0703069 kilogram-force per square centimetre. The psi is one of the world's most recognized units for measuring pressure.

What is Meter of Head?

The meter of head (symbol: mH₂O or m head) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure generated by a one-meter column of water under standard gravity. It is widely used in hydraulics, water supply systems, pumps, irrigation, and fluid engineering to describe pressure and pump performance. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the meter of head remains popular because it directly relates pressure to water height. It is based on the principles of hydraulic head.

One meter of head is equal to 9,806.65 pascals, 9.80665 kilopascals, 0.0980665 bar, 1.42233 pounds per square inch, and 3.28084 feet of water. The meter of head is commonly used to specify pump capacity and water system pressure.

Pound Force Per Square Inch to Meter of Head Examples

  • Example 1:

    Convert 0.2 Pound Force Per Square Inch pressure to Meter of Head unit.

    Solution:

    We know that one Pound Force Per Square Inch is equivalent to 0.703069549744 Meter of Head.

    Therefore,

    0.2 psi = 0.2 x 0.703069549744 Meter of Head.

    0.2 psi = 0.140613909949 Meter of Head.

    Hence, 0.2 Pound Force Per Square Inch is approximately equal to 0.140613909949 Meter of Head.

  • Example 2:

    Convert 3 Pound Force Per Square Inch pressure to Meter of Head unit.

    Solution:

    We know that one Pound Force Per Square Inch is equivalent to 0.703069549744 Meter of Head.

    Therefore,

    3 psi = 3 x 0.703069549744 Meter of Head.

    3 psi = 2.109208649 Meter of Head.

    Hence, 3 Pound Force Per Square Inch is approximately equal to 2.109208649 Meter of Head.
