How to convert hectopascals to kilopascals
kPa = hPa × 0.1
Multiply the number of hectopascals by 0.1 to get kilopascals. Going the other way, divide by 0.1 (or multiply by 10).
One hectopascal is exactly defined as 0.1 kilopascals (to 12 significant figures), and one kilopascal is 10 hectopascals.
Worked examples
- Convert 5 hectopascals: 5 × 0.1 = 0.5 0.5 kilopascals.
- Convert 12.5 hectopascals: 12.5 × 0.1 = 1.25 1.25 kilopascals.
- Convert 250 hectopascals: 250 × 0.1 = 25 25 kilopascals.
