What is a Hectopascal?
The Hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals. It is the international standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure.
What is a Bar?
The Bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). One bar is exactly equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly atmospheric pressure at sea level.
How to Convert Hectopascal to Bar
To convert Hectopascal to Bar, divide the Hectopascal value by 1000.
bar = hPa ÷ 1000Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula
The standard formula to convert from Hectopascal to Bar is:
bar = hPa ÷ 1000Step 2: Plug in the Value
Substitute the value you want to convert (for example, 5 hPa) into the formula.
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Perform the calculation to get the result in Bar.
