Convert dekapascal to pascal
Please provide values below to convert dekapascal [daPa] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to dekapascal.
1 daPa = 10 Pa. To convert dekapascal to pascal, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 0.1 daPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 daPa = 10 Pa
- 1 Pa = 0.1 daPa
- 10 daPa = 100 Pa
- 100 daPa = 1000 Pa
How to Convert Dekapascal to Pascal
1 daPa = 10 Pa
Example: convert 15 daPa to Pa:
15 daPa = 15 × 10 Pa = 150 Pa

Dekapascal
The dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure equal to ten pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure representing one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The dekapascal was introduced as a metric prefix-based unit to simplify the expression of larger pressures, particularly in fields like meteorology and engineering, aligning with the SI system's prefixes. Its usage is relatively uncommon compared to the pascal.
Current Use
The dekapascal is occasionally used in scientific and technical contexts to express pressure measurements more conveniently, especially in applications where pressures are in the range of thousands of pascals. It is part of pressure conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
