Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the hectopascal (hPa). Hectopascal is 100 pascal units.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the centipascal (cPa). Centipascal is 0.010000000000000000208166817117 pascal units.
How do I convert hectopascal to centipascal?
Multiply the hectopascal value by 10000. For example, 10 hPa × 10000 = 100000 cPa.
Is the hectopascal to centipascal conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined as fixed multiples of the pascal, the SI-derived unit of pressure, so the conversion factor follows directly from those exact definitions rather than a measured approximation.
Where is this conversion commonly used?
It's used whenever a value expressed in hectopascal needs to be compared with, or reported in, centipascal, such as in engineering specifications, weather readings, tire pressure, or industrial and scientific work.
Can I convert centipascal back to hectopascal?
Yes. Multiply the centipascal value by 0.0001 to get hectopascal.

About this conversion
This page converts hectopascal (hPa) to centipascal (cPa) within the pressure converter.
Hectopascal is 100 pascal units. Centipascal is 0.010000000000000000208166817117 pascal units.
The formula is centipascal = hectopascal × 10000, based on each unit's fixed relationship to the pascal, the pressure converter's base unit.
The conversion is exact, since both units are tied to the pascal by a fixed numerical ratio rather than a measured or approximate value.
