Converting from Kilopascal (kPa) to Hectopascal (hPa)

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure commonly used in fields such as engineering and meteorology. It is equal to 1,000 pascals, where 1 pascal is defined as 1 newton per square meter.

What is Hectopascal (hPa)

Hectopascal (hPa) is another unit of pressure that is widely used in meteorology. It is equivalent to 100 pascals, or one millibar. Hectopascals are commonly used in weather reports and forecasts.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between kPa and hPa is as follows:

• 1 kPa = 10 hPa
• 1 hPa = 0.1 kPa

Examples

1. Convert 5 kPa to hPa:

5 kPa=5×10=50 hPa

2. Convert 13 kPa to hPa:

13 kPa=13×10=130 hPa

3. Convert 11 hPa to kPa:

11 hPa=11×0.1=1.1 kPa

Conclusion

Use the provided conversion formulas and examples to easily convert between kilopascal (kPa) and hectopascal (hPa) for your pressure measurements.
