Kilopascals to Hectopascals Converter

1 kPa = 10 hPa (kilopascal → hectopascal)

1 kPa = 10 hPa

1 kilopascal equals 10 hectopascals. To convert kilopascals to hectopascals, multiply the kilopascal value by 10. For quick reference: 1 kPa = 10 hPa, 5 kPa = 50 hPa, 10 kPa = 100 hPa, 100 kPa = 1000 hPa.

Real-world reference

Tire pressure for most passenger cars is around 220 kPa. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa. In hectopascals, that gives you: 1 kPa = 10 hPa, 10 kPa = 100 hPa, 100 kPa = 1000 hPa.

Frequently asked questions

How many hectopascals are in 1 kilopascal?
1 kilopascal equals 10 hectopascals.
How do I convert kilopascals to hectopascals?
Multiply the kilopascal value by 10. So x kPa × 10 = the equivalent in hPa.
What is 5 kilopascals in hectopascals?
5 kilopascals equals 50 hectopascals.
What is 10 kilopascals in hectopascals?
10 kilopascals equals 100 hectopascals.
What is 100 kilopascals in hectopascals?
100 kilopascals equals 1000 hectopascals.
How do I convert back from hectopascals to kilopascals?
Multiply the hectopascal value by 0.1. For example, 1 hPa = 0.1 kPa.
Is the kilopascal bigger than the hectopascal?
Yes. 1 kilopascal is larger than 1 hectopascal — specifically 10 times larger.
Are these conversion factors exact?
The factor is derived directly from the SI definitions of kilopascal and hectopascal; the displayed value is rounded for readability, and the browser computes using IEEE 754 double-precision arithmetic.

About the kilopascal and the hectopascal

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.

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.
