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

Decipascal
The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.
History/Origin
The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.
Centipascal
The centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one hundredth of a pascal, where 1 pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The centipascal was introduced as a smaller unit of pressure for more precise measurements, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts, although it is not widely used in practice. It derives from the pascal, the SI base unit established in 1960.
Current Use
The centipascal is rarely used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific literature or calibration contexts where fine pressure distinctions are necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 decipascal in centipascal?
1 decipascal (dPa) = 10 centipascal (cPa).
