Converting from Hectopascal (hPa) to Inch of Mercury (inHg)

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 and is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal.

What is Inch of Mercury (inHg)

Inch of Mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure often used in aviation and weather reports to measure barometric pressure. It is the pressure exerted by a one-inch high column of mercury at standard gravity.

Conversion Formulas

1 hPa = 0.02952998 inHg
1 inHg = 33.86389 hPa

To convert from hPa to inHg, you can use the formula:

inHg=hPa×0.02952998

To convert from inHg to hPa, you can use the formula:

hPa=inHg×33.86389

Examples

• Converting 8 hPa to inHg:

8 hPa×0.02952998=0.2362398 inHg

• Converting 3 inHg to hPa:

3 inHg×33.86389=101.5917 hPa

• Converting 2 hPa to inHg:

2 hPa×0.02952998=0.05905996 inHg

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between hPa and inHg to accurately measure atmospheric pressure.
