FORMULA & EXAMPLES
How to convert Hectopascals to millibars
mbar = hPa
The numerical reading is unchanged because these units have the same size.
Worked examples
1 hPa ≈ 1 mbar
1 ≈ 1
1013.25 hPa ≈ 1013.25 mbar
1013.25 ≈ 1013.25
Frequently asked questions
Does hPa to mbar change gauge pressure into absolute pressure?
No. Unit conversion preserves the original pressure reference. Converting a gauge reading to absolute pressure additionally requires the applicable atmospheric pressure.
