What is pascal?

The pascal is the SI base unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square metre. It is used in meteorology, fluid dynamics, materials science, and all scientific pressure measurements.

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.

Worked examples

1 pascal = 0.01 hectopascal

1 hectopascal = 100 pascal
