What is hectopascal?

A hectopascal is a pressure unit equal to 100 pascals, numerically identical to the millibar. It is the standard unit for atmospheric pressure reports in modern meteorology and aviation weather data.

What is megapascal?

A megapascal is a pressure unit equal to one million pascals. It is used for measuring high pressures in industrial hydraulics, structural materials testing, and deep-sea and geological applications.

Worked examples

1 hectopascal = 0.0001 megapascal

1 megapascal = 1,000,000 pascal
