Discover the ease of converting PSI to Hectopascal with our precise Psi to hPa Converter, crafted by Newtum. Get accurate conversions in an instant!

What are Psi and Hectopascal

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used primarily in the United States. It measures the amount of force applied over one square inch of an area. One psi equals the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure defined as 100 pascals. It is a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure and is equivalent to the millibar. Meteorologists commonly use hectopascals for weather forecasts and to describe barometric pressures in various regions.

History of Psi and Hectopascal
