Convert nanopascal to micropascal
Please provide values below to convert nanopascal [nPa] to micropascal [µPa], or Convert micropascal to nanopascal.
How to Convert Nanopascal to Micropascal
1 nPa = 0.001 µPa
Example: convert 15 nPa to µPa:
15 nPa = 15 × 0.001 µPa = 0.015 µPa

Nanopascal
The nanopascal (nPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, where 1 nPa = 10^-9 Pa.
History/Origin
The nanopascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system's extension to accommodate very small pressure measurements, primarily in scientific research involving micro- and nanoscale phenomena.
Current Use
Nanopascals are used in high-precision scientific applications such as atmospheric pressure measurements, microfluidics, and nanotechnology research where extremely low pressure differences need to be quantified.
Micropascal
The micropascal (µPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a pascal, used to measure very low pressures.
History/Origin
The micropascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system to quantify extremely small pressure values, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, though it is rarely used in practical applications.
Current Use
The micropascal is primarily used in scientific research, acoustics, and environmental monitoring where precise measurement of very low pressures is required.
