What are Micropascal and Hectopascal

Definition of Micropascal

A micropascal, symbolized as µPa, is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a pascal. The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit for pressure, and it represents the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter. The micropascal is a minuscule unit often used in science and engineering to measure small pressures, such as sound pressure levels in acoustics or in other applications where very fine measurements are necessary.

Definition of Hectopascal

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure that is equivalent to 100 pascals. It is widely used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure because its value is close to the average pressure at sea level on Earth. The hectopascal is accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI) and is functionally identical to the more commonly known millibar (mb), with 1 hPa being equal to 1 mb. This unit provides an accessible scale for measuring changes in atmospheric conditions.

Micropascal to Hectopascal Conversion Table

Micropascal (µPa) Hectopascal (hPa)
100 µPa 0.001 hPa
1,000 µPa 0.01 hPa
10,000 µPa 0.1 hPa
100,000 µPa 1 hPa
1,000,000 µPa 10 hPa
10,000,000 µPa 100 hPa
100,000,000 µPa 1,000 hPa
1,000,000,000 µPa 10,000 hPa
10,000,000,000 µPa 100,000 hPa
100,000,000,000 µPa 1,000,000 hPa

Conversion of Micropascal to Hectopascal

1 µPa = 0.00001 hPa
1 hPa = 100,000 µPa

Example 1:
convert 500,000 µPa to hPa:
500,000 µPa = 500,000 × 0.00001 hPa = 5 hPa

Example 2:
convert 2,000,000 µPa to hPa:
2,000,000 µPa = 2,000,000 × 0.00001 hPa = 20 hPa
