Convert Standard atmosphere to femtopascal
Please provide values below to convert Standard atmosphere [atm] to femtopascal [fPa], or Convert femtopascal to Standard atmosphere.
How to Convert Standard Atmosphere to Femtopascal
1 atm = 1.01325e+20 fPa
Example: convert 15 atm to fPa:
15 atm = 15 × 1.01325e+20 fPa = 1.519875e+21 fPa

Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.
Current Use
The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.
Femtopascal
The femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-15 pascals.
History/Origin
The femtopascal is a derived SI unit introduced as part of the International System of Units' effort to create a comprehensive set of prefixes for very small measurements, although it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
The femtopascal is primarily used in scientific research involving extremely low pressure measurements, such as in nanotechnology and quantum physics, but it remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
