What are Hectopascal and Millimeter

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equivalent to 100 pascals. It's commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. One hPa represents the pressure exerted by a force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter.

A millimeter (mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a meter. It is a common unit for measuring small distances and dimensions, often used in engineering and manufacturing for precision.

History of Hectopascal and Millimeter

The hectopascal to millimeter mercury converter traces its roots to the early days of barometric pressure measurement. Initially using mercury columns, scientists sought a more practical unit, leading to the widespread adoption of the hectopascal in meteorology and other fields.
