hectopascal to inch of mercury
Please provide values below to convert hectopascal [hPa] to inch of mercury [inHg], or change ↔.
hectopascal [hPa]
Definition: The hectopascal (hPa) is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Historically, hectopascals were used in meteorology for easier handling of pressure values, as the pascal is quite small.
CurrentUse: It is still commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, particularly in weather reports.
funfact: Hectopascals are equivalent to millibars (mb), which is another unit commonly used in weather forecasting.
inch of mercury [inHg]
Definition: The inch of mercury (inHg) is a unit of pressure defined as the height of a column of mercury in inches.
Historyandorigin: Inches of mercury have been used historically to measure atmospheric pressure, especially in weather instruments and barometers.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used in the United States to measure atmospheric pressure and altimeter settings in aviation.
funfact: One inch of mercury is roughly equivalent to 33.8639 hPa (hectopascals), a more common unit for pressure.

How to Convert hectopascal to inch of mercury
1 hectopascal [hPa] = 0.0295299831 inch of mercury [inHg]
1 inch of mercury [inHg] = 33.863886667 hectopascal [hPa]
we use cross multiplication method
hectopascal [hPa] → inch of mercury [inHg]
1 → 0.0295299831
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0295299831=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0442949746
