Convert kilopascals to hectopascals by entering a value below.
How to Convert Kilopascals to Hectopascals
The kilopascal and hectopascal are both units of pressure. By definition, 1 kilopascal equals exactly 10 hectopascals. This means to convert kilopascals to hectopascals, you multiply by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kPa to hectopascals:
We need to convert kilopascals to hectopascals
Since 1 kPa = 10 hPa, multiply by 10
5 × 10 = 50
5 kPa = 50 hPa

About These Units
Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal (kPa) equals 1,000 Pascals or approximately 0.145 PSI. Kilopascals measure tire pressure in metric countries (typically 200-250 kPa for cars), blood pressure, and industrial processes. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa.
Hectopascal (hPa)
A hectopascal (hPa) equals 100 Pascals and is identical to one millibar. Hectopascals are the standard unit for atmospheric pressure in meteorology and aviation worldwide. Standard sea level pressure is 1013.25 hPa. Weather maps display pressure in hPa.
