How to convert hectopascals to bar

1 hectopascals (hPa) is equal to 1×10^-3 bar (bar). Conversely, 1 bar (bar) is equal to 1000 hectopascals (hPa).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the bar to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert hectopascals to bar

Convert base units

1 Pa=10−5 bar1\ Pa = 10^{-5}\ bar

Substitute to calculate bars to hPa

1 hPa=102∗10−5 bar=10−3 bar1\ hPa = 10^{2} * 10^{-5}\ bar = 10^{-3}\ bar

You can refer to Pascal wikipedia article for more conversions of Pascals.

What is a Hectopascal?

The hectopascal (hPa) is a 100 pascals (Pa). This is also known as millibar. The pascal is a SI unit that measures pressure. Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal and it replaced the previously used units for pressure N/m2N/m^2 in SI unit system. Following are equal representation of 1 Hectopascal in other units.

1 hPa=1 millibar=100∗Nm2=100∗kgm∗s2=100∗Jm31\ hPa = 1\ millibar = \frac{100 *N}{m^2} = \frac{100 *kg}{m*s^2} = \frac{100 *J}{m^3}

What is a bar?

The bar is a metric unit that measure the pressure. Equivalent unit Pascal (Pa) used in SI units to measure pressure. 1 bar is same as 100 kilopascals or 1 hectopascal (hPa).
