What are Centipascal and Hectopascal

A Centipascal (cPa) is a unit of pressure that is equal to one hundredth of a Pascal, the standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). One Pascal is defined as one Newton per square meter, thus a Centipascal represents 0.01 Newtons per square meter. It is a smaller unit often used for measuring minor pressure differences in scientific experiments.

The Hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure defined as 100 Pascals. It is widely used in meteorology to report atmospheric pressure, as the hectopascal is equivalent to the older and more commonly known millibar unit. One hPa represents the pressure exerted by a 1-kilogram force applied to an area of one square meter. Hectopascals are indicative of the force of the atmosphere and are critical in weather forecasting and analysis.

History of Centipascal and Hectopascal

The Centipascal to Hectopascal Converter stems from the need to simplify the conversion process between these pressure units. Historically, as the scientific community sought more precision, smaller units like cPa became useful. The hPa, being more practical for atmospheric measurements, required a straightforward conversion tool, leading to the development of converters like the one offered by Newtum.
