How many hectopascal in 1 decibar? The answer is 100. We assume you are converting between hectopascal and decibar. You can view more details on each measurement unit: hectopascal or decibar The SI derived unit for pressure is the pascal. 1 pascal is equal to 0.01 hectopascal, or 0.0001 decibar. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results. Use this page to learn how to convert between hectopascals and decibars. Type in your own numbers in the form to convert the units!
1 hectopascal to decibar = 0.01 decibar
10 hectopascal to decibar = 0.1 decibar
50 hectopascal to decibar = 0.5 decibar
100 hectopascal to decibar = 1 decibar
200 hectopascal to decibar = 2 decibar
500 hectopascal to decibar = 5 decibar
1000 hectopascal to decibar = 10 decibar
You can do the reverse unit conversion from decibar to hectopascal, or enter any two units below:
The SI prefix "hecto" represents a factor of 102, or in exponential notation, 1E2.
So 1 hectopascal = 102 pascals.
The definition of a pascal is as follows:
The pascal (symbol Pa) is the SI unit of pressure.It is equivalent to one newton per square metre. The unit is named after Blaise Pascal, the eminent French mathematician, physicist and philosopher.
The SI prefix "deci" represents a factor of 10-1, or in exponential notation, 1E-1.
So 1 decibar = 10-1 bars.
The definition of a bar is as follows:
The bar is a measurement unit of pressure, equal to 1,000,000 dynes per square centimetre (baryes), or 100,000 newtons per square metre (pascals). The word bar is of Greek origin, báros meaning weight. Its official symbol is "bar"; the earlier "b" is now deprecated, but still often seen especially as "mb" rather than the proper "mbar" for millibars.
