Understanding Pressure Conversion
What is a Bar?
A bar is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals (100 kPa). It's commonly used in meteorology and is approximately equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level.
What is a Hectopascal?
A hectopascal (hPa) is equal to 100 pascals and is the standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure in meteorology. 1 bar equals 1000 hectopascals.
Conversion Formula
To convert from bars to hectopascals, multiply the pressure value by 1000:
Hectopascals = Bars × 1000
