Convert micropascal to microbar
Please provide values below to convert micropascal [µPa] to microbar [µbar], or Convert microbar to micropascal.
How to Convert Micropascal to Microbar
1 µPa = 1e-05 µbar
Example: convert 15 µPa to µbar:
15 µPa = 15 × 1e-05 µbar = 0.00015 µbar

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.
Microbar
A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a bar, where 1 bar equals 100,000 pascals.
History/Origin
The microbar was introduced as a subunit of the bar to measure very low pressures, particularly in meteorology and vacuum technology, gaining usage in the 20th century as precision pressure measurements became more common.
Current Use
Today, the microbar is used primarily in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure variations and in scientific research requiring precise low-pressure measurements.
