Convert dekapascal to microbar
Please provide values below to convert dekapascal [daPa] to microbar [µbar], or Convert microbar to dekapascal.
1 daPa = 100 µbar. To convert dekapascal to microbar, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µbar = 0.01 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 = 100 µbar
- 1 µbar = 0.01 daPa
- 10 daPa = 1000 µbar
- 100 daPa = 10000 µbar
How to Convert Dekapascal to Microbar
1 daPa = 100 µbar
Example: convert 15 daPa to µbar:
15 daPa = 15 × 100 µbar = 1500 µbar

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.
Microbar
A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a bar, where 1 bar equals 100,000 pascals.
History/Origin
The microbar was introduced as a subunit of the bar to measure very low pressures, particularly in meteorology and vacuum technology, gaining usage in the 20th century as precision pressure measurements became more common.
Current Use
Today, the microbar is used primarily in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure variations and in scientific research requiring precise low-pressure measurements.
