To convert a measurement in millibars to a measurement in hectopascals, divide the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 1 millibars/hectopascal.

Since one hectopascal is equal to 1 millibar, you can use this simple formula to convert:

hectopascals = millibars ÷ 1

The pressure in hectopascals is equal to the pressure in millibars divided by 1.

For example, here's how to convert 5 millibars to hectopascals using the formula above.
hectopascals = (5 mbar ÷ 1) = 5 hPa

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

What is a Millibar?

One millibar is equal to one-thousandth of a bar, which is defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter. One millibar is also equal to one hectopascal.

The millibar is a non-SI metric unit for pressure. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. Millibars can be abbreviated as mbar; for example, 1 millibar can be written as 1 mbar.

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.
