Convert pascals (Pa) to millibars (mbar).
Factor1 Pa = 0.01 mbar
Converter
Pa
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
mbar
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
mbar = Pa × 0.01
Multiply any value in pascals by 0.01 to obtain the value in millibars.
Worked example
Convert 1000 Pa to mbar.
- 01Start with 1000 Pa.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.01 = 10 mbar.
Result1000 Pa = 10 mbar

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from Pa to mbar?
1 Pa equals 0.01 mbar. To convert, multiply the value in pascals by 0.01.
How do I convert 1 Pa to mbar?
1 Pa = 0.01 mbar. For any value, multiply by 0.01.
How do I convert mbar back to Pa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 100. So 1 mbar = 100 Pa.
When would I need to convert pascal to millibar?
Pressure conversions between Pa and mbar 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).
