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 meter of water (mH2O). Meter of water column.
How do I convert hectopascal to meter of water?
Multiply the hectopascal value by 0.010197. For example, 10 hPa × 0.010197 = 0.101972 mH2O.
Is the hectopascal to meter of water 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, meter of water, such as in engineering specifications, weather readings, tire pressure, or industrial and scientific work.
Can I convert meter of water back to hectopascal?
Yes. Multiply the meter of water value by 98.0665 to get hectopascal.

About this conversion
This page converts hectopascal (hPa) to meter of water (mH2O) within the pressure converter.
Hectopascal is 100 pascal units. Meter of water column.
The formula is meter of water = hectopascal × 0.010197, 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.
