Convert millibar to terapascal
Please provide values below to convert millibar [mbar] to terapascal [TPa], or Convert terapascal to millibar.
1 mbar = 1.0000e-10 TPa. To convert millibar to terapascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e-10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TPa = 10000000000 mbar). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mbar = 1.0000e-10 TPa
- 1 TPa = 10000000000 mbar
- 10 mbar = 1e-09 TPa
- 100 mbar = 1e-08 TPa
How to Convert Millibar to Terapascal
1 mbar = 1e-10 TPa
Example: convert 15 mbar to TPa:
15 mbar = 15 × 1e-10 TPa = 1.5e-09 TPa

Millibar
A millibar (mbar) is a unit of pressure measurement equal to one-thousandth of a bar, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The millibar was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for meteorological measurements, replacing the bar in many applications due to its smaller size. It became widely adopted in weather reporting and atmospheric studies.
Current Use
Today, the millibar is still used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to report atmospheric pressure, although it is gradually being replaced by the Pascal (Pa) in scientific contexts. It remains a standard unit in weather forecasts and reports.
Terapascal
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 millibar in terapascal?
1 millibar (mbar) = 1.0000e-10 terapascal (TPa).
How do you convert millibar to terapascal?
Multiply the millibar value by 1.0000e-10. For example, 25 mbar × 1.0000e-10 = 2.5e-09 TPa.
What is 10 millibar in terapascal?
10 mbar = 1e-09 TPa.
Which unit is larger, the millibar or the terapascal?
The terapascal is the larger unit: 1 mbar equals only 1.0000e-10 TPa.
