Convert bars to hectopascals
1 bar = 1000 hPa — exactly. Both units are defined against the SI, so this factor is a fraction, not an approximation.
1000hPa
1 bar = 1000 hPa
How to convert bars to hectopascals
Multiply the number of bars by 1000 to get hectopascals.
The exact factor is 1000 .
Bar: Exactly 100 kPa. Close to atmospheric pressure, which is why it caught on.
