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

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.
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'.
