What are Millibar and Centipascal

Definition of Millibar

A millibar is a unit of pressure in the metric system equivalent to one-thousandth of a bar. The term 'milli' denotes a factor of one-thousandth, and a bar is a recognized unit for measuring atmospheric pressure. This unit is commonly used in meteorology and for measuring small differences in air pressure.

Definition of Centipascal

A centipascal is a pressure unit that is one hundredth of a pascal, which is the SI (International System of Units) unit for pressure. One pascal is defined as one newton per square meter, and the centipascal follows as a smaller subdivision, making it suitable for applications requiring precise pressure measurements.

Conversion of Millibar to Centipascal

1 mbar = 1000 cPa
100 mbar = 100000 cPa

Example 1:
convert 2 mbar to cPa:
2 mbar = 2 × 1000 cPa = 2000 cPa

Example 2:
convert 5.5 mbar to cPa:
5.5 mbar = 5.5 × 1000 cPa = 5500 cPa
