Please provide values below to convert attopascal [aPa] to millipascal [mPa], or Convert millipascal to attopascal.
How to Convert Attopascal to Millipascal
1 aPa = 1e-15 mPa
Example: convert 15 aPa to mPa:
15 aPa = 15 × 1e-15 mPa = 1.5e-14 mPa

Attopascal
The attopascal (aPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-18 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The attopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to denote very small quantities of pressure, but it is rarely used in practical applications due to its minuscule magnitude.
Current Use
The attopascal is primarily used in scientific research and theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure differences are relevant, although it remains largely a conceptual unit.
Millipascal
A millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one thousandth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure.
History/Origin
The millipascal is derived from the pascal, which was named after Blaise Pascal. It is used in contexts requiring very small pressure measurements, but its usage is relatively uncommon due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
Millipascals are primarily used in scientific and engineering fields to measure very low pressures, such as in fluid dynamics, vacuum systems, and sensitive instrumentation within the 'Pressure' converter category of 'Common Converters'.
