Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
Pa = hPa × 100
Multiply any value in hectopascals (stress) by 100 to obtain the value in pascals (stress).
Worked example
Convert 1 hPa to Pa.
- 01Start with 1 hPa.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 100 = 100 Pa.
Result1 hPa = 100 Pa

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from hPa to Pa?
1 hPa equals 100 Pa. To convert, multiply the value in hectopascals (stress) by 100.
How do I convert 1 hPa to Pa?
1 hPa = 100 Pa. For any value, multiply by 100.
How do I convert Pa back to hPa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01. So 1 Pa = 0.01 hPa.
When would I need to convert hectopascal (stress) to pascal (stress)?
Stress conversions between hPa and Pa are routine in mechanics-of-materials work: yield, ultimate and allowable-stress specification, Young's-modulus tables and structural-design code calculations. MPa and N/mm² dominate ISO and European datasheets, psi and ksi dominate US structural codes, and kgf/cm² and kgf/mm² appear in legacy JIS and heavy-engineering documentation. Stress is the same physical dimension as pressure but a different engineering quantity — this category is mechanics-of-materials, not process pressure.
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).
