What is a dekapascal?

A dekapascal (daPa) is an SI-derived pressure unit equal to 10 pascals and is often used for small pressure measurements in audiology and laboratory settings.

Where is hectopascal commonly used?

Hectopascal (hPa) is commonly used in meteorology and atmospheric sciences to express air pressure, including weather forecasts and aviation flight planning.

How does one convert from daPa to hPa?

To convert dekapascal to hectopascal, multiply the daPa value by 0.1 since 1 daPa equals 0.1 hPa.
