decipascal to centipascal
Convert decipascal (dPa) to centipascal (cPa). Use an editable pressure converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 dPa = 10 cPa
Conversion formula
One decipascal equals 10 centipascal. Multiply your value in decipascal by this factor to get centipascal. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decipascal:5 × 10 = 50 cPa

About these measurements
Pressure is force per unit of area.
The base reference used here is the pascal. One decipascal is 0.1 base units; one centipascal is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
Gauge and absolute pressures must not be mixed. This converts units without changing the reference pressure.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert dPa to cPa?
Multiply the quantity in dPa by 10. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the centipascal to decipascal converter.
