Converting from Hectopascal (hPa) to Foot of Water (ftH₂0)

What is Hectopascal (hPa)

Hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. It is equal to 100 pascals.

What is Foot of Water (ftH₂0)

Foot of Water (ftH₂0) is another unit of pressure that is used to measure the pressure exerted by a column of water that is one foot high.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Hectopascal (hPa) and Foot of Water (ftH₂0) can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from Hectopascal (hPa) to Foot of Water (ftH₂0):

ftH2​0=hPa×0.03345526

• To convert from Foot of Water (ftH₂0) to Hectopascal (hPa):

hPa=ftH2​0×29.89067

Examples

• If we have 4 hPa, the equivalent in Foot of Water would be:

4×0.03345526=0.133821 ftH₂0

• If we have 12 ftH₂0, the equivalent in Hectopascal would be:

12×29.89067=358.688 hPa

• Similarly, if we have 5 hPa, the equivalent in Foot of Water would be:

5×0.03345526=0.1672763 ftH₂0

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between Hectopascal (hPa) and Foot of Water (ftH₂0) to meet your specific pressure measurement needs.
