Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the kilopascal (kPa). Kilopascal is 1000 pascal units.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the hectopascal (hPa). Hectopascal is 100 pascal units.
How do I convert kilopascal to hectopascal?
Multiply the kilopascal value by 10. For example, 10 kPa × 10 = 100 hPa.
Is the kilopascal to hectopascal 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 kilopascal needs to be compared with, or reported in, hectopascal, such as in engineering specifications, weather readings, tire pressure, or industrial and scientific work.
Can I convert hectopascal back to kilopascal?
Yes. Multiply the hectopascal value by 0.1 to get kilopascal.

About this conversion
This page converts kilopascal (kPa) to hectopascal (hPa) within the pressure converter.
Kilopascal is 1000 pascal units. Hectopascal is 100 pascal units.
The formula is hectopascal = kilopascal × 10, 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.
