hectopascal [hPa] to pascal [Pa] Converter

Quick Reference

1 hectopascal (hPa) = 100 pascal (Pa)

1 pascal (Pa) = 0.01 hectopascal (hPa)

How to Convert hectopascal to pascal

1 hPa = 100 Pa
1 Pa = 0.01 hPa

To convert hectopascal to pascal, multiply the value by 100. To convert pascal back to hectopascal, divide by 100.

Example: convert 10 hPa to Pa:
10 hPa = 10 x 100 = 1000 Pa

↔ Convert pascal to hectopascal

hectopascal

Definition: The hectopascal (symbol: hPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure. One hPa is equal to 100 pascals.

History/origin: The hectopascal was introduced as a replacement for the millibar (mbar) in meteorology. The change was intended to promote the use of SI units.

Current use: Hectopascals are primarily used in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure. 1 hPa is equivalent to 1 mbar, which was previously the standard unit for atmospheric pressure.

pascal

Definition: The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength.

History/origin: The pascal is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer, and philosopher. The unit was adopted in 1971.

Current use: The pascal is used worldwide for measuring pressure in various applications, including meteorology (atmospheric pressure), material science (stress and strain), and engineering (fluid pressure).

hectopascal [hPa] to pascal [Pa] Converter

What is 1 hPa in Pa?

1 hectopascal (hPa) equals 100 Pa, and 1 Pa equals 0.01 hPa.

How do I convert hectopascal to pascal?

Multiply by 100: 10 hPa × 100 = 1,000 Pa. The converter above does it for any value, with the precision you choose.

What is 100 hPa in Pa?

100 hPa = 10,000 Pa. Common amounts are listed on this page, each with its own step-by-step page.

Is a hectopascal bigger than a pascal?

Yes. 1 hPa = 100 Pa, so the same quantity becomes a larger number when written in Pa.
