Convert between Pascal and Hectopascal with step-by-step calculations.

Unit Information

Pascal (Pa)

The SI derived unit of pressure.

System: SI

Hectopascal (hPa)

A metric unit of pressure equal to one hundred pascals.

System: SI

Conversion Process

This conversion uses Pascal as the base unit. We'll first convert Pascal to Pascal, then convert from Pascal to Hectopascal.

Step 1: Convert from Pascal to Pascal

1 × 1 = 1

Result: 1 Pascal

Step 2: Convert from Pascal to Hectopascal

1 × 0.01 = 0.01

Result: 0.01 Hectopascal

Direct Conversion Factor

1 ÷ 100 = 0.01

Direct conversion: 1 Pascal = 0.01 Hectopascal

Hectopascal (hPa)

System: SI

Definition:1 Hectopascal = 100 Pascals.

Origin: Derived from the Pascal and the SI prefix "hecto-".

Common Usage: Widely used in meteorology for atmospheric pressure, often replacing the millibar.
