How to Convert Millibar to Pascal

To convert Millibar to Pascal, multiply mbar by 100 because 1 mbar = 100 Pa.

Conversion Formula:

value * 100

Understanding the Conversion

Millibar to Pascal is common in meteorology and aviation when raw SI values are needed. Multiply mbar by 100. For example, 1,013.25 mbar becomes 101,325 Pa (standard atmosphere). The factor is exact and reversible (divide Pa by 100 to get mbar).

Conversion Examples

Example: Convert 1,013.25 mbar to Pa

Step 1: 1,013.25 × 100 = 101,325.
Step 2: Result is 101,325 Pa.
Step 3: Standard atmosphere reference.

1,013.25 mbar = 101,325 Pa

Sea-level pressure.

Example: Convert 500 mbar to Pa

Step 1: 500 × 100 = 50,000.
Step 2: Result is 50,000 Pa.
Step 3: Mid-atmosphere example.

500 mbar = 50,000 Pa

Higher altitude equivalent.

Example: Convert 25 mbar to Pa

Step 1: 25 × 100 = 2,500.
Step 2: Result is 2,500 Pa.
Step 3: Small differential scenario.

25 mbar = 2,500 Pa

Useful for building pressure diffs.

Conversion Formula

Millibar is exactly 100 Pascals. Multiplying by 100 converts to the SI base unit.

Unit Definitions

Millibar (mbar)

Atmospheric unit equal to hPa.

1 mbar = 100 Pa = 0.1 kPa = 0.001 bar.

Pascal (Pa)

SI base unit of pressure.

Pa to mbar divide by 100; Pa to kPa divide by 1000; Pa to bar divide by 100000.

Common Use Cases

Weather/aviation: translate mbar readings to Pa
Research: store atmospheric data in SI base units
Building science: convert small differentials to Pa
Compliance: provide Pa values for standards
Education: show mbar-to-Pa scaling

Frequently Asked Questions

Are mbar and hPa the same?

Yes, numerically identical.

Why convert to Pa?

Pa is the SI base unit required for many calculations and standards.

How to go back?

Divide Pascals by 100 to return to mbar.
