About Pascal and Hectopascal Conversion

What is a Pascal (Pa)?

The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). It's used extensively in scientific and engineering applications to measure pressure, stress, and elastic modulus.

What is a Hectopascal (hPa)?

A hectopascal (hPa) is equal to 100 pascals and is commonly used in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure. The prefix "hecto" means 100 in the metric system. Most weather reports and aviation applications use hectopascals.

Conversion Formula

To convert from pascals (Pa) to hectopascals (hPa), divide the pascal value by 100:
hPa = Pa ÷ 100

Example:

500 Pa = 500 ÷ 100 = 5 hPa
