hectopascal to bar Conversion Formula

To convert from hectopascal (hPa) to bar (bar), use the following formula:

$\textbf{ bar} \text{ (bar)}$

$= \frac{1}{10} \times \frac{1}{100}\times \textbf{ hectopascal} \text{ (hPa)}$

$= \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ hectopascal} \text{ (hPa)}$

$= 0.001\times \textbf{ hectopascal} \text{ (hPa)}$

Example

Let's convert 5 hectopascal (hPa) to bar (bar).

Using the formula:

$5 \times 0.001 = 0.005$

Therefore, 5 hectopascal (hPa) is equal to $0.005$ bar (bar).

What is a hectopascal (hPa)?

A hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equal to one tenth of a kilopascal (0.1 kPa). The plural form is hectopascals.

What is a bar (bar)?

A bar (bar) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equal to one hundred kilopascals (100 kPa). The plural form is bar.

The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement used by nearly every country in the world. Its key feature is the use of prefixes to denote multiples and submultiples of the base units by powers of ten.
