Convert hectopascal to pascal
Please provide values below to convert hectopascal [hPa] to pascal [Pa], or Convert pascal to hectopascal.
1 hPa = 100 Pa. To convert hectopascal to pascal, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Pa = 0.01 hPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hPa = 100 Pa
- 1 Pa = 0.01 hPa
- 10 hPa = 1000 Pa
- 100 hPa = 10000 Pa
How to Convert Hectopascal to Pascal
1 hPa = 100 Pa
Example: convert 15 hPa to Pa:
15 hPa = 15 × 100 Pa = 1500 Pa

Hectopascal
The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The hectopascal was introduced as part of the metric system and became widely adopted in meteorology during the 20th century for standardizing atmospheric pressure measurements.
Current Use
Today, the hectopascal is predominantly used in weather reporting and forecasting to indicate atmospheric pressure, with standard sea-level pressure approximately 1013 hPa.
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
What is 1 hectopascal in pascal?
1 hectopascal (hPa) = 100 pascal (Pa).
How do you convert hectopascal to pascal?
