Convert millipascal to microbar
Please provide values below to convert millipascal [mPa] to microbar [µbar], or Convert microbar to millipascal.
1 mPa = 0.01 µbar. To convert millipascal to microbar, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µbar = 100 mPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mPa = 0.01 µbar
- 1 µbar = 100 mPa
- 10 mPa = 0.1 µbar
- 100 mPa = 1 µbar
How to Convert Millipascal to Microbar
1 mPa = 0.01 µbar
Example: convert 15 mPa to µbar:
15 mPa = 15 × 0.01 µbar = 0.15 µbar

Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 millipascal in microbar?
1 millipascal (mPa) = 0.01 microbar (µbar).
How do you convert millipascal to microbar?
Multiply the millipascal value by 0.01. For example, 25 mPa × 0.01 = 0.25 µbar.
What is 10 millipascal in microbar?
10 mPa = 0.1 µbar.
Which unit is larger, the millipascal or the microbar?
The microbar is the larger unit: 1 mPa equals only 0.01 µbar.
