Convert hectopascal to megapascal

Here you can quickly calculate how many megapascal fit in one hectopascal.
  • 1 hPa = 0.0001 MPa
  • 1 MPa = 10000 hPa

Hectopascal to megapascal formula

To convert hectopascal to megapascal, divide by 10000.

1 hPa = 0.0001 MPa
Example: 1 hectopascal = 0.0001 megapascal

Common pressure conversion mistakes

  • Blood pressure uses mmHg (120/80) and weather reports use hPa (around 1,013), different units that must not be mixed: 760 mmHg = 1,013.25 hPa. One mmHg is about 1.33 hPa.
  • Hectopascals and millibars are exactly the same size: 1 hPa = 1 mbar. A chart showing 1,013 mbar and one showing 1,013 hPa agree perfectly, no conversion needed. Meteorology simply renamed the unit.
