To convert a measurement in atmospheres to a measurement in hectopascals, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 1,013.25 hectopascals/atmosphere.

Since one atmosphere is equal to 1,013.25 hectopascals, you can use this simple formula to convert:

hectopascals = atmospheres × 1,013.25

The pressure in hectopascals is equal to the pressure in atmospheres multiplied by 1,013.25.

For example, here's how to convert 5 atmospheres to hectopascals using the formula above.
hectopascals = (5 atm × 1,013.25) = 5,066.25 hPa

Atmospheres and hectopascals are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is an Atmosphere?

The atmosphere is a reference measure of pressure equal to 101,325 pascals or 1,013,250 dynes. The atmosphere was originally defined as the pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury at standard gravity at 0 °C, but was later redefined in 1954 to be equal to 1,013,250 dynes.

Atmospheres can be abbreviated as atm; for example, 1 atmosphere can be written as 1 atm.

What Is a Hectopascal?

The hectopascal is equal to 100 pascals, which are defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter. The hectopascal is the internationally adopted unit used to measure atmospheric pressure.

The hectopascal is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI derived unit for pressure. In the metric system, "hecto" is the prefix for 102. Hectopascals can be abbreviated as hPa; for example, 1 hectopascal can be written as 1 hPa.
