Formula
Formula
Pa = mbar × 100
Multiply any value in millibars by 100 to obtain the value in pascals.
Worked example
Convert 100 mbar to Pa.
- 01Start with 100 mbar.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 100 = 10000 Pa.
Result100 mbar = 10000 Pa

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mbar to Pa?
1 mbar equals 100 Pa. To convert, multiply the value in millibars by 100.
How do I convert 1 mbar to Pa?
1 mbar = 100 Pa. For any value, multiply by 100.
How do I convert Pa back to mbar?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01. So 1 Pa = 0.01 mbar.
When would I need to convert millibar to pascal?
Pressure conversions between mbar and Pa are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
