Real-world reference

Standard atmospheric pressure is 1,013.25 hPa. A deep low-pressure system might read below 970 hPa. In kilopascals, that gives you: 1 hPa = 0.1 kPa, 10 hPa = 1 kPa, 100 hPa = 10 kPa.

Frequently asked questions

How many kilopascals are in 1 hectopascal?
1 hectopascal equals 0.1 kilopascals.
How do I convert hectopascals to kilopascals?
Multiply the hectopascal value by 0.1. So x hPa × 0.1 = the equivalent in kPa.
What is 5 hectopascals in kilopascals?
5 hectopascals equals 0.5 kilopascals.
What is 10 hectopascals in kilopascals?
10 hectopascals equals 1 kilopascals.
What is 100 hectopascals in kilopascals?
100 hectopascals equals 10 kilopascals.
How do I convert back from kilopascals to hectopascals?
Multiply the kilopascal value by 10. For example, 1 kPa = 10 hPa.
Is the hectopascal bigger than the kilopascal?
No. 1 hectopascal is smaller than 1 kilopascal. It takes 10 hectopascals to equal 1 kilopascal.
Are these conversion factors exact?
The factor is derived directly from the SI definitions of hectopascal and kilopascal; the displayed value is rounded for readability, and the browser computes using IEEE 754 double-precision arithmetic.

About the hectopascal and the kilopascal

The hectopascal

The hectopascal (hPa) equals exactly 100 Pa — numerically identical to the millibar. It is the unit modern meteorological services use on official weather charts and forecasts, having formally replaced the millibar in most national weather services since the 1980s.

The kilopascal

The kilopascal (kPa) equals exactly 1,000 pascals. It is the standard pressure unit in modern meteorology, engineering specs outside the US, and most non-US tire-pressure recommendations.
